US President Donald Trump is questioning why Iran has not yielded to mounting military pressure, according to special envoy Steve Witkoff.
“I don’t want to use the word ‘frustrated,’ because he understands he has plenty of alternatives, but he’s curious as to why they haven’t … I don’t want to use the word ‘capitulated,’ but why they haven’t capitulated,” Witkoff said in an interview on Fox News on Sunday.

President Donald Trump, however, is not ruling out strikes against Iran in the next 10 to 15 days.

‘We are definitely more powerful than before. We have prepared in the past seven, eight months. We found our weaknesses and fixed them. We are not looking for war, and we won’t start the war. But if they force it on us, we will respond.’
