TASS (Russian state media) · back to the audit

WASHINGTON, August 3. /TASS/. US President Donald Trump said that negotiations with the United States are the last opportunity for Iran to avoid a blow to the leadership of the Islamic Republic. "I think we're going to maybe get something, but I want to give them every last chance before decapitation. It's very tough to do what we have planned, still plan. We'll see what happens," he told reporters. "This is a big move to do an attack that big on a country I'd rather not do. Now we've already threw lots of large attacks, but they were normal large. Hopefully they'll come to their senses."
