Trump says US still has to 'take care' of one or two targets in Iran

President Donald Trump stated on Saturday that the United States has largely neutralized Iran's military capabilities but still needs to address one or two specific targets, according to Gulf News. Tehran has threatened retaliation if attacked, and Trump acknowledged that negotiations with Iran to end the conflict, which began in February, were progressing but were not entirely dependable.

The Republican president asserted that the US is not eager to launch an offensive due to the extensive damage already inflicted on Iran's military and nuclear program. He mentioned that taking out a particular site, such as "Pickaxe Mountain," could be accomplished swiftly. Iran's supreme leader cautioned the US and Israel against initiating another offensive, warning of a broader conflict if provoked.

Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio affirmed that Trump had not decided on additional strikes and remained open to diplomacy. Iran's Supreme Leader warned that a resumption of hostilities would escalate the conflict, and the elections in both countries may influence the outcome, with Israel recently holding parliamentary elections.
