The United States is weighing new military strikes on Iran, US media outlets reported on Saturday. The reports, from CBS and Axios, come just hours after US President Donald Trump said that he would not travel to attend his son’s wedding this weekend due to “circumstances pertaining to the government and my love for the United States of America.” Trump said, “It was important for me to remain in Washington, DC, at the White House during this important period of time.” However, a final decision on new strikes hasn’t been made.
A White House spokesperson, Anna Kelly, said, “The President has been clear about the consequences if Iran fails to make a deal.”
