US could strike Iran this weekend, envoy says The United States could strike Iran as soon as this weekend, a US envoy said Friday, after mounting threats by both Washington and Israel this week. “Could there be a strike this weekend? Absolutely,” Tom Barrack, the US ambassador to Turkey and special envoy for Syria, told Israeli army radio in response to a question. President Donald Trump “is very clear. He’s open and available and accessible to a deal, and we’ve been at the table for months and months and months,” Barrack said.
