Trump says acted on 'last best chance' to hit Iran

President Donald Trump said Monday that he took the decision to launch a war against Iran because it was the "last, best chance" to stop the country's alleged nuclear bomb program.

"This was our last, best chance to strike, what we're doing right now, and eliminate the intolerable threats posed by this sick and sinister regime," Trump said at the White House.
