21:08Now PlayingPresident Trump said Friday he would "prefer not" to strike Iran again — but the option remains on the table as negotiations have so far been unsuccessful.
"There are the options: Do you want to go blast the hell out of 'em and finish them forever, or do we want to try and make a deal? I mean, those are the options," he told reporters at the White House.
Asked whether he would move forward with additional strikes, Trump said: "I'd prefer not. On a human basis, I'd prefer not, but that's the option."
