Trump has not decided whether to resume strikes on Iran, Rubio says
What happened
Trump has not yet made up his mind about renewing strikes on Iran, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told a news conference on Saturday.
Rubio said he did not know whether Qatar-led talks aimed at ending the US-Israeli war on Iran have a set timeframe.
Iranian negotiators met Qatari mediators in Doha on Saturday, following more than 12 hours of talks in Tehran on Friday, Reuters reported, citing an anonymous source.
Trump told reporters at his Florida residence that one or two sites remain to be hit and that the US could handle them in 10 minutes.
Iranian army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia said a new war could last longer than the last one, according to Iranian state television.
“In a conflict with America, there are no geographical limitations; a vast theatre has been defined for inflicting damage upon the enemy”
