The United States will be ready to begin a war on Iran by Saturday, according to a report from the Telegraph citing defense officials who briefed President Donald Trump.

Marco Rubio and his U.K. counterpart will discuss an apparent disagreement over the use of U.K. bases Trump says "may be necessary for" an attack on Iran.

The United States and Iran on Friday were trying to reach a diplomatic solution to disputes between the two nations that have led to heightened tensions in the Middle East, and warnings from President Donald Trump that military options are at his disposal.
