President Trump dropping hints Friday on his future plans for Iran if Tehran does not agree to come to the negotiations.

[Ainsley Earhart]

President Trump called regime change in Iran the best thing that could happen. So we're seeing a sharpened tone from the president as he weighs next steps if nuclear negotiations continue to stall. The USS Gerald Ford, now in transit to the Middle east after being sent to join the USS Abraham Lincoln. This level of strike readiness adds another layer of pressure onto Tehran. And the president spoke about this move at Fort Bragg during remarks that honored the US Soldiers who helped capture Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela. All week, the president has emphasized that he'd rather make a deal with Iran than take military action. But he's also made clear that he's not going to tolerate any deal that is short of zero nuclear enrichment.
