WASHINGTON, November 6. /TASS/. The Washington administration will soon decide whether to "go further" in the conflict with Iran, US President Doanld Trump told reporters at the White House.

"In Iran, we are there for seven months, and we control everything that we've wanted to control. And now we'll make a decision: do we want to go further and just certify it. By certifying it, meaning it'll never happen again. I think it'll take them 25 years to rebuild the country. I would rather not destroy the rest of the country if possible, but maybe I'll have to. You'll know soon enough," he pointed out.

According to the Axios news website, the US administration is considering three options for resolving the conflict with Iran: forcing Tehran to accept a deal favorable to Washington, resuming military operations or reaching a poeace agreement. "The US military is finishing preparations for a possible resumption of major combat operations in Iran, including sending more assets to the region," Axios reported, citing American officials. "At the same time, Qatari mediators are working to secure US and Iranian support for a draft agreement to head off a return to battle and possibly resume direct talks in the coming days, regional sources say," the media outlet added.
