President Donald Trump would not say Wednesday whether he has decided to order a U.S. strike on Iran, a move that Tehran warned anew would be greeted with stiff retaliation if it happens.
“I may do it, I may not do it," Trump said in an exchange with reporters at the White House . “I mean, nobody knows what I’m going to do.”
Trump added that it’s not “too late” for Iran to give up its nuclear program as he continues to weigh direct U.S. involvement in Israel's military operations aimed at crushing Tehran's nuclear program.

00:00I mean, you don't know that I'm going to even do it.
00:02You don't know. I may do it. I may not do it.
00:04I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do.
00:05I can tell you this, that Iran's got a lot of trouble.
00:10And they want to negotiate.
00:12And I said, why didn't you negotiate with me before all this death and destruction?
00:17Why didn't you negotiate?
00:18I said to the people, why didn't you negotiate with me two weeks ago?
00:22You could have done fine.
00:24You would have had a country.
00:26It's very sad to watch this.
00:28I mean, I've never I've never seen anything like it.
00:31It's so you know, everyone thought it was going to be the reverse.
00:33I didn't. I didn't think so.
00:35And I was telling him, you got to you got to do something.
00:37You got to negotiate.
00:39And at the end, last minute, they said, no, we're not going to do that.
00:42And they got hit.
00:43Remember 60 days and then came the 60.
00:4661 is going to become a very famous number.
00:48That was one hell of a hit.
00:49That first hit.
00:50That was one hell of a hit.
00:52Not sustainable, to be honest.
00:53That's where it ended.
00:55It ended on the first night.
00:56Yes.
00:56Is it too late, though?
00:57Do you think it's too late to now?
00:59Really?
00:59Nothing's too late.
01:00The only thing too late is Powell.
01:02Powell's too late.
01:03Too late, Powell.
01:04Have the Iranians reached out to you, Mr. President?
01:07What?
01:07Have the Iranians reached out to you?
01:09Yes.
01:10And what did he say?
01:10I said it's very late, you know?
01:14I said it's very late to be talking.
01:18Mr. President, it's a big difference between now and a week ago, right?
01:26Big difference.
01:26He said he said we may meet, he said we may meet.
01:29Is this about Vance?
01:31And would it possibly be going to talk about it?
01:32It's about anybody.
01:34They even suggested they come to the White House.
01:37It's a big difference.
01:37But they've suggested that they come to the White House.
01:42That's, you know, courageous, but, you know, it's like not easy for them to do.
01:47But they suggest, because I can't go now because of what's going on.
01:51I had to come back early from the G7, which was terrific, by the way, in Canada.
01:54Really terrific.
01:55Good people.
01:55Two very simple words, a very simple, unconditional surrender.
02:00That means I've had it.
02:01Okay?
02:01I've had it.
02:02I give up.
02:03I know more.
02:04Then we go blow up all the military, you know, all the nuclear stuff that's all over the place
02:08there.
02:10No, they had bad intentions.
02:11You know, for 40 years they've been saying death to America, death to Israel, death to
02:16anybody else that they didn't like.
02:18They were bullies.
02:21They were schoolyard bullies.
02:23And now they're not bullies anymore.
02:25But we'll see what happens.
02:26Look, nothing's finished until it's finished.
02:28You know, war is very complex.
02:30A lot of bad things can happen.
02:32A lot of turns are made.
02:33So I don't know.
02:33I wouldn't say that we won anything yet.
02:36I would say that we sure as hell made a lot of progress.
02:40And we'll see.
02:41The next week is going to be very big.
02:43Maybe less than a week.
02:44Maybe less.
02:45But is there anybody here that said it would be okay to have a hostile, very, you know,
02:52zealots, really.
02:53But to have a hostile country have a nuclear weapon that could destroy 25 miles, but much
03:01more than that, could destroy other nations just by the breeze blowing the dust.
03:05You know, that dust blows to other nations and they get decimated.
03:08This is just not a threat you can have.
