WASHINGTON: (Web Desk) – US President Donald Trump has said the United States may need to carry out further military action against Iran, adding that he was just an hour away from approving a strike before deciding to postpone it.

“I was an hour away from making the decision to go today,” he stated, indicating that military plans had been prepared but temporarily paused.
