President Donald Trump threatened Iran with "obliteration" on Tuesday, saying that an attack on "anything American will be met with great and overwhelming force." "In some areas, overwhelming will mean obliteration. No more John Kerry & Obama!" the President tweeted.
Speaking in the Oval Office later in the day, Trump said he believes Iran still takes his threats seriously after he canceled a planned military strike and told reporters he does not need an "exit strategy" from the increasingly tense situation.
Trump also said his message to Tehran following the recent exchange of hostile words between the US and Iran -- including Iranian President Hassan Rouhani saying the White House is suffering from a "mental disability" -- was that he wants to negotiate.
"I'll tell you what the message is: When they're ready, they have to let us know," Trump said. "Whatever they want to do, I'm ready."
"You're not going to need an exit strategy. I don't need exit strategies," he added.
