President Donald Trump said Friday that he is considering a limited military strike on Iran as the US builds up military forces in the region. When asked directly whether a strike was under consideration, Trump responded that he was weighing the option, though reporters were escorted out before he finished his remarks.
Administration officials told CBS News that no final decision has been made. US national security leaders have briefed the president that military forces are prepared for potential action within days, though any strike could occur later.
