Israeli media is reporting that Donald Trump has informed Israel's government that he will resume attacks on Iran tonight. Military correspondent Itay Blumental claimed that Israel is also preparing for the US President to announce further military action "in the coming days".
During a meeting on Wednesday, Mr Trump pledged to strike Iran "very hard", adding: "We're gonna hit them very hard. I can actually say that because there's very little they can do about it. They've already apologised. But we've gotta smack them a little bit.
"In the meantime, we're going to be hitting them very hard. Because it's our turn to hit them. They know what's coming. They're asking us not to do it."
The remarks came in response to a journalist's question about the conditions the US would need to meet to pull out of the Middle East.
On Tuesday, he held talks with Benjamin Netanyahu just hours after vowing to devastate Iran if it failed to agree a deal soon.
He told Fox News: "If they don't make a deal, then I go back, and I finish the job. But that's going to take them forever to rebuild. Already, it'll take them many years to ever to rebuild."
