Trump warns Israel strike on Iran 'could happen' amid Middle East evacuation, nuclear negotiations

1 day ago 10

President Donald Trump on Thursday wouldn't say an attack by Israel on Iran was imminent, but warned it "could happen" as the U.S. continues to pressure Tehran on a nuclear deal, but simultaneously prepares evacuations from the Middle East. 

"I don't want to say imminent, but it looks like it's something that could very well happen," Trump said. "Look, it's very simple, not complicated. Iran can not have a nuclear weapon. 

"Other than that, I want them to be successful," he continued. "We'll help them be successful, will trade with them. We'll do whatever is necessary."

Trump said ultimately he'd "love to avoid the conflict," but said that Iran is going to have to negotiate a "little bit tougher."
