As the conflict continues on the sixth day and toxic rhetoric between all parties continues, US President Donald Trump is considering whether Israeli strikes should be supported by Iran’s nuclear sites. According to five sources using Ford’s underground nuclear locations along with US partner CBS News, American strikes can be used to use excellent weapons.
On Tuesday, the president met with the national security team to discuss his next steps. Israel and Iran have been trading deadly strikes since Friday. Despite his previous demands and support for his voice for a diplomatic solution to limit Iran’s nuclear research, analysts believe Trump’s comments show an eagerness to join Israelis. He shows growing frustration of lack of progress to secure new deals that will prevent Iran from building nuclear weapons. Trump retired from an earlier agreement with Iran during his first term.
Trump said the US on Tuesday knew where Iran’s top leader Ali Khamenei was in the social media post. “He’s an easy goal, but he’s certainly there,” Trump wrote. “We won’t take it out (kill it!) at least not for now. But we don’t want the rocket to be shot by civilians or American soldiers. Our patience fades away. “Unconditional surrender!” Trump wrote in another post. On Wednesday, Iran’s best leader responded directly to comments, saying the country was never the outcome.
“All forms of US military intervention are undoubtedly fulfilled with damage not over-reaching,” Khamenei said. “Iran, its people, and the wise people who know its history will never speak to this country in a language of threat, as Iranians were not born,” he added.
Despite Iran’s claims that his nuclear activity is completely peaceful, the US has called for Iran to hire uranium enrichment to prevent the development of nuclear weapons. In 2018, Trump left Iran and five other countries before nuclear deals. He sent negotiators to a country in the Middle East after returning to the office to try and achieve a new agreement without success. It appears Trump has cooled down traditional diplomacy over the past few days. On Tuesday, when he returned to the US from Canada’s G7 Summit, he said he “doesn’t really feel like negotiating with Iran.”
Professor Amnon Aran, an expert on Israeli foreign policy, told BBC Radio 5 Live. “We were definitely the closest we were,” he added.
Other experts say Trump could be forced to act. Former Israeli ambassador Michael Oren speculated that the president felt that if Iran attacked a US ship or a US base, there was only one option to intervene.
However, such an attack could also be an Iranian tactic to put Israel under pressure on Trump and negotiate an end to the battle, Herr Oren told BBC Radio 4’s Today program. When he returned from the G7, Trump himself explained to reporters that his goal was “an end, a real end, no ceasefire.” His comments came just hours after he and other Western Alliance leaders issued a statement in which exhaustion in the Middle East was asked. Trump left the summit early and after responding to the Washington crisis, many statements have made it unclear which direction the observers could go.
Despite the refusal of the then-US authorities who participated in the military campaign, US Defense Minister Pete Hegses previously announced the “use of additional skills” in the Middle East to improve the “Pentagon’s defensive attitude.” Flight tracking data inspected by the BBC shows that at least 30 US military aircraft have been relocated from US bases to European bases in the last three days. It was not clear whether the US move had any connection to the Israeli-Iran conflict, but experts said tanker flights were “very rare.” The move could be part of a larger strategy of “strategic ambiguity” to create Iran to make concessions, according to another expert. According to CBS, not all Trump advisors agree to participate in Israeli military operations. However, no different voices were made public.
Plus, there is a broad perspective among Trump supporters. Republicans have observed reelection to unravel America from conflicts abroad, and previously criticised US intervention in the Middle East.
His directors of the National Secret Service, Trump and Tarsi Gabbard, appear to have different opinions about Iran’s ability to produce nuclear weapons. “When asked about Gabbard’s previous claims on Tuesday that Iran was not developing a nuclear warhead, Trump replied, “I don’t care what she said.” I think they are very close. “
Trump and Gabbard consultants later denied that they disagreed with the topic.
He was not killed overnight through an Iranian rocket attack from Tuesday to Wednesday in Israel.
Over 50 Israeli fighters conducted operations in Iran overnight, attacked by universities related to Iranian centrifuges, rocket production facilities near Tehran, and Iranian revolutionary security guards.
Israel was a major partner in America in the Middle East, and Trump was standing by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
