President Trump said Sunday he was still deciding between reaching an agreement with Iran and taking action to "finish them off." Mr. Trump has kept open the possibility of a new round of major U.S. strikes against Iran.
Iranian officials said Sunday that indirect negotiations with the U.S. continue but that Tehran will not change its positions even if Mr. Trump does order a resumption of American attacks on the Islamic Republic.
