President Donald Trump said ​on Tuesday that the United States may need to strike Iran again and that he had been an hour away from ordering an attack before postponing it, Reuters reported. 

Trump made the comments a day after saying he had paused a planned resumption of hostilities following a new proposal by Tehran to end the U.S.-Israeli war.

"I was an hour away from making the decision to go today," Trump told reporters at the White House on Tuesday.
