US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he had not taken a final decision on whether to bomb Iran and warned that the current leadership in Tehran could fall because of the Israeli attack, a day after demanding of Iran to surrender unconditionally.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters outside the White House, Trump said that Iranian officials had reached out about negotiations including a possible meeting at the White House. He also said his patience had run out, though he gave no clue as to what his next step would be.<\/p>\n

“I may do it. I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I’m going to do,” he said about attacking Iran. He warned that Iran’s current leadership could fall as a result of the war. A change in Iran’s government “could happen”, he said, adding: “They want to come to the White House \u2014 I may do that.”<\/p>\n

Trump’s media talk came as Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rejected his call for unconditional surrender. when asked for his response to Khamenei rejecting his demand to surrender, Trump said: “I say, good luck.”<\/p>\n

Trump has veered from proposing a swift diplomatic end to the six-day-old war to suggesting the United States might join it. In social media posts on Tuesday, he mused about killing Khamenei, then demanded Iran’s “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!”<\/p>\n

A source familiar with internal discussions said Trump and his team were considering options that included joining Israel in strikes against Iranian nuclear installations. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth told a Senate committee that the Pentagon was prepared to execute any order given by Trump.<\/p>\n

At his media talk, Trump appeared to rebuff Russian President Vladimir Putin’s offer to mediate in the Israel-Iran conflict. “He actually offered to help mediate. I said, ‘Do me a favour, mediate your own [Ukraine war]. I said ‘Vladimir, let’s mediate Russia first, you can worry about this later’.”<\/p>\n
