Trump tells Axios "clock is ticking" for Iran and warns of more massive U.S. military attack

Axios Axios —

President Trump told Axios in a phone call that "the clock is ticking" for Iran and warned that if the Iranian regime doesn't come with a better offer for a deal "they are going to get hit much harder.".

  • Trump is expected to hold a Situation Room meeting with his top national security team on Tuesday to discuss the options for military action, two U.S. officials said.

This is a developing story.
