US President Donald Trump said the US will "probably" launch another strike on Iran later tonight, while accusing Tehran's stance on its nuclear programme of derailing diplomatic efforts.
Speaking on the sidelines of the NATO summit, Trump said the US action is aimed at preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons and is "not about regime change."
"We'll probably strike Iran again tonight," Trump said.
"It's not about regime change. It's about nuclear weapons," he added, blaming Iran's position on the nuclear issue for the breakdown in talks.
Trump's remarks come amid heightened tensions in the region, with Washington signalling that it remains prepared to take further military action if necessary.
