If Iran still refuses to comply with the U.S. nuclear demand, the Trump administration would respond with a broad campaign against the Iranian government facilities -- potentially aimed at toppling the Tehran government, said the report.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday that he is considering a limited military strike to pressure Iran to make a deal.

"I guess I can say I am considering that," Trump told reporters at the White House.

The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that Trump is weighing "an initial limited military strike" on Iran's military or government sites.

If Iran still refuses to comply with the U.S. nuclear demand, the Trump administration would respond with a broad campaign against the Iranian government facilities -- potentially aimed at toppling the Tehran government, said the report.

Trump said on Thursday that 10 to 15 days is "enough time" for Tehran to reach a deal with the United States. "We're going to make a deal or get a deal one way or the other."
