President Donald Trump continued Give mixed signals About whether the United States will be Intervene directly In the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran, seeing a six -day intensive bomb blast.
The Republican leader started his Wednesday on the White House lawn, where he set up two giant flags, each 88 ft – or 27 meters – more.
However, in that look, he faced the question of the Middle East conflict: Will the US join the US Israel in hitting Iran’s nuclear facilities?
“You don’t even know I am going to do it too,” Trump told a reporter. “I can do it. I may not do it. I can tell you what I am going to do. I can tell you this: Iran has a lot of trouble, and they want to negotiate.”
Later, as he posed for S and to the office with the Juventus Football Club, Trump suggested that he did not shape his mind again – and it was unlikely to do so until the last possible moment.
“I have thoughts about what to do, but I have not made the final (call),” Trump said.
“I like to make the final decision for a second. Do you know? Because things change, especially with war. Things will change with war. It can go from one intensity to another.”
That ambiguity about whether the US could enter the arena caused uncertainty within the conflict – and the controversy for Trump in front of the domestic front.
‘To stand ready’ military
Some Republican and Democrats have introduced a law that limits Trump’s ability to engage in the struggle between Iran and Israel. Meanwhile, a conservative narrator Tucker Carlson published Video interview He recorded with the right -wing Senator Ted Cruz, where two Trump supporters spoke about whether the US should move forward in Iran.
Trump was asked to measure his debate on Wednesday from the office of the Oval. The president suggested that he was sympathetic to Carlson’s desire to keep the US out of expensive foreign conflict – but with caution.
“I don’t want to fight. I don’t look to fight,” Trump said. “But if this is a situation between fighting and a nuclear weapon, you have to do what you have to do. Maybe we don’t have to fight. Don’t forget: We are not fighting.”
The Trump administration described Israel’s initial strike on June 13 as “unilateral action.” But the president suggested that he had earlier known about the attack and supported Israel’s military operation.
In evidence of the Congress, Defense Secretary Peet Hegseth told lawmakers that the US military would be ready if he called.
“President Trump’s words mean something. The world understands it,” Hegseth said. “And in the Department of Defense, our work is ready to stand ready and prepare with options. And what we’re doing is exactly what we’re doing.”
Ulation hoped about nuclear capabilities
The current conflict, Trump, has repeatedly argued that Iran had never begun to accept the rules for limiting its nuclear program. US officials Would meet with his Iranian associates Since April To talk about limiting the enrichment of Iran Uranium, it is a necessary step to build a nuclear weapon.
But Iran has long denied any ambitions of building a nuclear arsenal and claimed that its uranium was only used for civilian fuel purposes.
Still, Trump tied up an ongoing conflict with Israel Fear that Iran is close to To build a bomb. He warned that if Iran had a nuclear weapon, the whole world would blow up.
“I have been saying for 20 years. I can not have an nuclear weapon for Iran. I have been saying this for a long time and I think they are a few weeks away to have one,” Trump said on Wednesday.
However, in March, Trump’s National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gobbard testified that the US intelligence community decided that “Iran was not building a nuclear weapon”. Since then he has taken the comment with back, calling his position to the president.
Critics have warned that Trump may have been building the case in the conflict between Israel and Iran by highlighting the danger of Iranian uranium enrichment facilities.
Israel also points out the possibility of Iran’s nuclear weapon as a reasoning to launch the first strike. It is widely believed that the US ally, Israel has its own non -disclosed nuclear arsenal.
Stalled talks
However, negotiations with the US stalled after the June 13 strike of Israel, which turned into a heated exchange of the missile fire. The scheduled meeting was canceled on the weekends, and some Iran’s delegates were killed in early blasts in early blasts, like military leaders and scientists.
Trump regretted the failure of those talks on Wednesday, alleging that Iran failed to follow the 60 -day deadline in April.
“Why didn’t you negotiate with me before all this death and destruction?” Trump asked. “I told the people: Why didn’t you talk to me two weeks ago? You could have worked well. You had a country. It was so sad to see this.”
He confirmed that the Iranian authorities have reached the White House meeting since the recent conflict began.
“I said it was too late to speak,” Trump told reporters, broadcast his answer. “There is a big difference now and a week ago.”
In recent times, Trump’s words have promoted fears that it may rise to regional war. Only one day before, Tuesday, Trump Publicly He could kill Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khameni and called the country’s “unconditional surrender”.
Iran responded to Trump’s statements. In an interview with CNN host Christian Amanpore, Iranian deputy foreign minister Majeed Takht-Ranchi dismissed reports that his officials were trying to negotiate with the US.
“We are not reaching anyone. We are protecting ourselves,” said Takht-Rawanchi. “We can negotiate under threats. We can’t negotiate when our people are in a bomb blast every day. So we don’t beg for anything.”
“If the Americans are directly involved, we will definitely not tie our hands. We will do what we need to protect our people and our interests.”
Khameni has said that the participation of us in the conflict has “seriously irreparable consequences” and condemns Trump’s threats.
Repeated calls for ‘unconditional surrender’
Trump on Wednesday gave different interpretations of how he saw a conflict, for the first time in the white house, where he repeated his call for “unconditional surrender”.
“I have a unconditional surrender: I have it. I have it. I have it. I will give up. We will blow up all the nuclear things there.” Trump said, blaming Iran again for the fight.
“He has been bad intentions. For 40 years, he has been saying: Death to America! Death to Israel! Death to someone else who does not like it. He threatened the school courtyard, and now he no longer threatens.”
Later, in the office of the Oval, Trump suggested that the conflict could be resolved by promising not to get a hand on Iran’s nuclear weapon.
“We are not looking for a ceasefire. We are looking for a total whole victory. You know what the victory is? No nuclear weapon.”
He warned that the coming week was “too big” – though he did not share any details about the future of the conflict.
The death toll in Iran has risen to 240 people, including 70 women and children.
