WASHINGTON/DUBAI/Jerusalem: President Donald Trump has refused to reject the possibility of joining the Israeli military campaign against Iran, and it has gauged from the world as a tension in the Middle East that he reaches the boiling place.
Speaking outside the White House, Trump said he did not make his mind, adding, “I can do it. I can’t.”
“No one knows what I’m going to do.”
His comments came when Israel launched airstrikes on the sixth consecutive day, forced thousands of people to flee Tehran and indicated immediate diplomatic efforts to prevent the conflict from intensifying.
Presenting a glow of hope for talks, Trump later said that Iranian officials want to come to Washington for a meeting and “we can do it.” But he added, “It’s been a while” in such a conversation.
A German diplomatic source told Reuters that the Foreign Ministers of Germany, France and the United Kingdom have planned to hold nuclear talks with their Iranian counterpart in Geneva on Friday. The purpose of the negotiations, which the source has said is happening with the United States, has to firmly convince Iran to guarantee that it will use its nuclear program for civilian purposes.
The Wall Street Journal said that Trump had told senior assistants that he had approved plans to attack Iran, but he was giving a final order to see if Tehran would abandon its nuclear program.
Asked if he believed that the Iranian government could fall as a result of the Israeli campaign, Trump said: “Of course, anything can happen.”
Referring to the destruction or end of Iran’s Fordo Nuclear Enrival Center, Trump said, “We are the only ones who have the potential. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to do it – at all.” Military analysts believe that Israel may need US military assistance to destroy Fordo, which is digging under a mountain near the city.
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Tuesday rejected Trump’s demand for unconditional surrender, and the Iranians jammed highways outside the capital Tehran, a city with one million people, when residents intensified Israeli planes.
The 86 -year -old Escopian criticized Trump in a recorded speech on television, which is his first hearing since Friday.
“The Americans should know that with any US military intervention, there will be undoubtedly irreparable harm,” he said.
“The intelligent people who know Iran, the Iranian nation and its history will never speak to this nation in a threatening language because the Iranian nation will not be able to surrender.”
In its latest bombings, Israel said its air force had destroyed the Iranian police headquarters.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video released by his office on Wednesday that Israel is “progressing step by step to eliminate Iran’s nuclear places and the threats posed by ballistic missile weapons.”
Netanyahu said, “We control the heavens in Tehran. We are attacking Ayatollah’s government with great force. We are hitting nuclear places, missiles, headquarters, government symbols.” The Prime Minister’s Office posted a photo showing Netanyahu calling the cabinet and said it was taking place on Wednesday evening.
He also thanked Trump for “a great friend of the state of Israel”, saying that the two were in a constant contact, saying it was standing with him.
Trump has refused to propose a fast diplomatic end to the war to suggest that the United States may be involved. In social media posts on Tuesday, he talked about killing Khamenei, then demanded Iran’s “unconditional surrender”!
A source familiar with internal debates said that Trump and his team were considering powers, including joining Israel in strikes against Iranian nuclear installations.
Iran’s UN mission made Trump mocked in posts on X, in which he “is a proportional warner in synchronization.”
The Israeli military said several Israeli jets had killed targets in Tehran and its surroundings and around it and in western Iran, and in western Iran, targeting raw materials, components and manufacturing sites for missiles.
Running Tehran
31 -year -old Tehran resident Arizo told Reuters over the phone that he had transported him from the city to a nearby resort town, Lawsan.
“As long as this war continues, we will stay here,” he said. In Tehran, my friend’s house was attacked and his brother was injured. He is a citizen. ” “Why are we paying the government’s decision to achieve the nuclear program?”
In Israel, the Sirens warned more Iranian missiles on Wednesday evening. Israeli medical experts said there were no immediate reports of severe damage, while a motorcycle missile was injured in debris.
The army later advised citizens that they could leave safe areas, indicating that the threat had passed.
At the Ramt Gan train station east of Tel Aviv, people were lying on the mattresses provided by the city or sitting on a strange camping chair, which contained bottles of plastic water.
“I’m scared, overwhelmed.
