Audio Briefing: Trump Says US Could Hit Iran 'in Ten Minutes' as Doha Talks Enter Day Three

DOHA — A News Plus Globe audio briefing on the sharpest escalation in days over Iran: President Donald Trump's phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his claim that the United States could hit what remains of Iran's nuclear programme in ten minutes, and Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei's order for an immediate, geographically unrestricted response to any new attack.

The briefing also tracks the third consecutive day of Qatari-mediated talks in Doha, Secretary of State Marco Rubio's statement that no strike decision has been taken, and the rival seven-day plans now on the table — all two days before the November 3 midterm elections.
