President Donald Trump said he’s considering a limited military strike on Iran, ratcheting up pressure on the regime to come to a quick deal over its nuclear program as he masses military forces in the region.

“I guess I can say I am considering it,” Trump told reporters when asked if he was weighing the move to force Iran to accept a deal. The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that his team was mulling such a plan.
