President Donald Trump said Friday he expects Iran to open itself to international inspection to verify it doesn't restart its nuclear programme.

Trump tries to regain edge in debate over damage done by US strikes on Iran

President Donald Trump on Wednesday rejected an early intelligence assessment that US strikes inflicted only a marginal setback on Iran's nuclear programme, insisting that his country's spies did not have the full picture and defending his own swift conclusion that American bombs and missiles delivered a crushing blow.
