    Asked if Washington was going to war with Tehran, Trump told reporters he “hope not” as he greeted Maurer at the White House.

    Tensions have escalated in recent days with increasing concerns about a potential U.S.-Iran conflict. Earlier this week the United States pulled some diplomatic staff from its embassy in Baghdad following weekend attacks on four oil tankers in the Gulf.

    Switzerland, a neutral country, has historically been a liaison between the United States and Iran which have no diplomatic relations.

    The Washington Post, citing unnamed U.S. officials, reported late Wednesday that Trump preferred a diplomatic route with Iran and direct talks with its leaders but worried that some of his advisers were pushing war.

    U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday welcomed what she called Trump’s lack of “appetite” for military conflict with Tehran.

    Unbalanced trump revised his ‘record’ on the Iraq war, then attacked Geoge W for it, then attacked Obama and Hillary for killing tyrant Khaddafi and continung the Iraq & Afghan wars. So we’re still in Iraq and Afg, are involved with the Saudis in Yemen and he’s been yelling for Regime Change in Iran. He’ll start a WAR in Iran once his taxes are made public or impeachment starts. No reason for war except to distract.

    Typical! How stupid the Demo-Liberals are! If G-d forbid they were ever in power, they would publicly announce that they are NOT going to war with Iran; and encourage Iran to do as they please; knowing that the US was too cowed to check Iran’s terrorism. Even Obama was not THAT stupid; unfortunately he was caught bluffing (when he famously drew his line in the sand with Syria using poison gas again and again) and Putin and Iran walked all over him and the US interests..
