Asked if U.S. is going to war with Iran, President Trump responds: 'I hope not'
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump had a pithy response Thursday to what has become a pressing question around the world: Is his administration marching the United States into a war with Iran? The three-word response was the latest case of the president adopting a wait-and-see stance amid heightened tensions between the U.S. and Iran.
Yet Trump has struggled to present a unified message on Iran. On the one hand the administration has sought to tamp down talk of a military confrontation with the country. On the other, Trump has said he would"absolutely" send ground troops to the region if needed. Trump and his aides have downplayed the prospects of military action with Iran in recent days. That includes a Wednesday tweet in which the president raised the prospect of diplomatic negotiations with the country’s leaders.
