SadaNews - U.S. President Donald Trump expressed his hope on Thursday night to Friday that he could avoid military action against Iran, noting that he has not ruled out talking again with Tehran about a potential nuclear deal.

Trump said during the premiere of a documentary about his wife Melania, "I built the military in my first term, and now we have a group (of warships) heading to a place called Iran, and I hope we don't have to use them."
