Trump considered return to all-out war with Iran but 'prefers negotiation'
US President Donald Trump considered returning to all-out war with Iran, but currently prefers to stick with diplomatic talks and one-off strikes, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, citing US sources familiar with the discussions.
According to the report, Trump held multiple conversations with US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine about additional strikes, but has chosen to continue negotiations instead.
Trump has also said that he is fine with negotiations with Iran continuing past a previous August 18 deadline for a nuclear deal while ordering limited single strikes in response to any Iranian violations of the Memorandum of Understanding between the two countries, according to the WSJ.
However, Trump has not yet made a final decision to avoid returning to war, the outlet reported.
