The President of the United States Donald Trump held a meeting on Tuesday to consider whether the United States will actively participate in Israeli attacks with the aim of destroying the Iranian nuclear program, writes Jerusalem Post.
According to the sources of close American officials, if the administration decides, it will not be about symbolic support, but a serious military operation, with the main goal of attacking the uranium enrichment plant in Fordow.
High Israeli officials who talked to The Jerusalem post believe that Trump has already made a decision: the United States will operate if Iran rejects an agreement that would mean the completely abolition of his nuclear program.
On Tuesday night, Trump has published on the social network of Truth Social that it requires “unconditional capitulation” from Tehran. He also stated in front of journalists, “I am not interested in negotiations with Iran. I want the real end of Tehran’s nuclear program.”
One American official said to post: “There is no doubt what Trump wants, and he will not hesitate to do what he deems necessary to achieve that goal.”
As part of the preparation for a possible impact, the U.S. military sends additional defense systems in the region to protect their bases and interests in Arab countries.
Heavy bombers are already stationed at Diego Garcia, as well as in Qatar, and both locations have the capacity to perform the attack on a deep-buried plant in Fordow.
According to the information of the Reuters Agency, the United States also send additional combat airfind F-35, F-22 and F-16, as well as USS Nimitz aircraft carrier.
At the same time, behind the scenes, intensive diplomatic efforts lead to calming tensions. Oman and Qatar mediate between Tehran and Washington in an attempt to organize direct talks between senior officials.
“Intensive diplomatic activity are underway,” said the source sent to negotiations. According to him, Iran sent messages to Israel through mediators who are in contact with the American side, with a clear appeal: “Let’s deescali and start negotiations.”
