Barrack Does Not Rule Out Weekend Strike on Iran; Trump Says He Is Unaware

US envoy Tom Barrack did not rule out a strike on Iran over the weekend, while President Donald Trump said he had no knowledge of the matter.

Barrack’s remarks left open the possibility of military action, but did not confirm that a strike had been planned or approved.

Trump separately raised the prospect of another round of military action if Tehran failed to reach an agreement with Washington.

The remarks linked the threat of further military action to the outcome of efforts to secure a deal, while leaving the possibility of a weekend strike unresolved.
