Iran-US war latest: Trump considers 'blowing entire nation up' and is 'in deciding mode' Donald Trump says he's choosing between 'wiping them out, letting Iran rot economically, or making a deal' Donald Trump has warned Iran to "behave" and says he is considering whether to "blow the entire nation up", amid concerns the US could scale up its military action in the region. The US president made the remarks during a conversation with Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst on Sunday as he discussed his next move in the escalating conflict. Trump said he was in "deciding mode" and that "very big things" would happen in the not-so-distant future, according to Yingst. He said his choices include "wiping them out, letting Iran rot economically, or making a deal". The president said the question was "if and when" it would be necessary to "blow the nation up" if Tehran fails to agree to his demands, adding "they better have." His comments come after Tehran warned the US and countries across the Middle East that they could face "painful strikes" if they made "any mistakes" against Iran. This is a Breaking News story.
