The United States could strike Iran as soon as this weekend, a US envoy said Friday, after mounting threats by both Washington and Israel.
“Could there be a strike this weekend? Absolutely,” Tom Barrack, the US ambassador to Turkey and point man on Syria who does not have a direct role on Iran, said in an interview with podcast host Mario Nawfal.
President Donald Trump “is very clear. He’s open and available and accessible to a deal and we’ve been at the table for months and months and months,” Barrack said in the interview, a snippet of which was aired on Israeli army radio.
