President Trump said Tuesday he might have to wallop Iran with \u201canother big hit,\u201d but he is waiting a short while for negotiations to play out.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump indicated his willingness to resume military strikes while complaining about Democrats who want to restrain his war powers.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re winning every point. But in Washington, they want to stop you from negotiating,\u201d Mr. Trump said while touring the construction of his White House ballroom. \u201cThey want to stop you, and it\u2019s only political. It\u2019s the Democrats. They\u2019re dumb.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump launched his war against Iran to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. He paused fighting as part of an early April ceasefire, but he is running out of patience with negotiations, saying Iran has not satisfied his demands.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe may have to give them another big hit, I\u2019m not sure yet. You\u2019ll know very soon,\u201d Mr. Trump said.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump on Monday canceled planned military strikes on Iran after Arab allies in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates asked him to hold off because negotiations showed progress.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cI was an hour away,\u201d Mr. Trump said Tuesday. \u201cIt would have been happening right now. \u2026 We would not be talking about a beautiful ballroom today. We would be talking about that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some national security hawks are urging Mr. Trump to strike Iran, saying it would put the U.S. in a stronger negotiating position.<\/p>\n

For now, Mr. Trump is imposing a blockade of maritime ports to squeeze Iran economically and force it to negotiate on his terms.<\/p>\n

Democrats and other critics say he launched a \u201cwar of choice\u201d that resulted in higher prices for Americans, as Iran clamps down on oil traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n

The U.S. average price of a gallon of gas stood at $4.53 on Tuesday, a 52% increase from when the war started, according to the AAA motor club.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump shrugged off signs that the war is polling relatively poorly, or that he needs to explain his goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s frankly very popular,\u201d the president said. \u201cWhether it\u2019s popular or not popular, I have to do it. I\u2019m not going to allow the world to be blown up on my watch.\u201d<\/p>\n
