WASHINGTON (AA) - President Donald Trump continued to hold the door open to the US joining Israel's attacks against Iran, saying his patience with Tehran has "already run out."

"I may do it. I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do. I can tell you this, Iran has got a lot of trouble, and they want to negotiate," Trump told reporters at the White House during a flag raising ceremony. "The next week is going to be very big, maybe less than a week, maybe less. But is there anybody here that said it would be okay to have to have a hostile, very, you know, zealous, really, but to have a hostile country have a nuclear weapon."

"This is just not a threat you can have," he added.

Asked if he believed it is now too late to resume negotiations over Iran's nuclear program, Trump said, "really nothing's too late."
