Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Keeps World Guessing Over Possible Iran Action

Caption: Trump Keeps World Guessing Over Possible Iran Action. U.S. President Donald Trump continues to keep the world guessing as tensions with Iran escalate. For nearly two weeks, Trump has suggested the United States could intervene, first warning he would come to the “rescue” of protesters if Iranian authorities used violence and later promising that “help is on its way,” without giving details. The uncertainty deepened after Trump was asked how he would respond if Iran began executing detained protesters. Activists say a 26-year-old shopkeeper has been sentenced to death for taking part in demonstrations. Trump replied that the U.S. would take “very strong action,” adding that his aim in Iran was “to win.” Signs of possible military preparation followed, with American, British and Qatari personnel relocated from Al-Udeid Air Base, and U.S. embassy staff in Saudi Arabia urged to remain vigilant. The moves echo past episodes that preceded U.S. strikes, fuelling speculation over what Trump may do next. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
