US President Donald Trump on Monday declined to disclose what would follow the latest negotiations with Iran but indicated that Washington still has the option of pursuing a major military escalation.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said the next steps would become clear in due course when asked about the outcome of the latest round of talks.
Trump had previously described the negotiations as Iran’s “last chance” before potential military action.
Asked whether a “massive escalation” remained an option, Trump said the US has the capability to pursue such a course if he decides to do so.
He did not provide further details on what such an escalation could involve, saying that the public would find out in due time.
