US could strike Iran this weekend, envoy says

Tom Barrack, the US ambassador to Turkey and envoy on Syria, said a US strike on Iran could happen as soon as this weekend. He said Donald Trump remained open to a deal, while warning that threats against the United States, its allies and the Gulf would bring consequences but not regime change. His remarks come as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly vowed to topple Iran’s government and Trump has signalled that strikes could resume after a diplomatic deadlock.
