President Donald Trump said that Israel “can be very well” struck Iran, but that he has advised on the attack while negotiations on the Tehran nuclear program are underway because the departure of US employees from the region concerns the upcoming strike.
“I don’t want to say immediate, but it looks like it’s something that could happen very well,” Trump told reporters on Thursday at the White House.
In recent days, Trump said he was less sure that the US would reach an agreement with Iran to limit their nuclear ambitions in exchange for sanction relief. The President has repeatedly stated that although he wants a diplomatic solution, he does not want Tehran to acquire nuclear weapons and warn that the US could resort to military action unless there is an agreement.
Steve Witkoff is expected to travel to Muscat for the sixth round of nuclear interviews with Iran, according to a well -known person on Sunday. However, Trump said that Iran manages hard negotiations and resists the requirements to abandon the efforts to enrich nuclear enrichment.
“We are quite close to quite good agreement. It must be better than quite good, but it must be – I prefer agreement, if I think there is an agreement, I do not want it to join it, because I think it would throw it away,” Trump said.
The still -tense situation ordered the US to some employees to leave the embassy in Baghdad, stated officials after Iran threatened to strike US assets in the region if attacked on its nuclear program.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also stated that US government employees and family members in Israel are limited from traveling outside the capital, such as Tel Aviv and Jerusalem until further warnings.
“Look, there is a chance of a massive conflict,” Trump said. “We have a lot of American people in this area, and I have said, we have to tell them to get out because something can happen early, and I don’t want to be the one who has not gave no warnings and the missiles fly.”
At the beginning of the day Iran said that in response to the decision of the Atomic Watchdog of the UN, he would introduce a new Uranus enrichment facility to condemn the Republic of Islam about his nuclear program.
The key point in the discussions is whether Iran would be allowed to continue enrichment of uranium for civilian purposes. Iran says it will not end his enrichment, while Trump said that Iran would not allow the material to continue.
Trump later said on Thursday that the US remained “committed to a diplomatic resolution” on this issue.
“My whole administration was ordered to deal with Iran,” Trump wrote in a social media post. “It could be a great country, but at first he has to completely give up the hope of getting a nuclear weapon.”
At the beginning of this week, Trump spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to inform him about interviews with Iran. Netanyahu has long been skeptical about the diplomatic efforts to reduce the Iranian nuclear program and Trump in May said that the Israeli leader said that at that time there would be a “inappropriate” military strike to Iran because it could endanger the interviews.
Israel says it reserves the right to attack or without support. CBS News reported that the reason why Trump’s administration recommended some Americans to leave the region is that US officials have been said to be ready to start operations to Iran.
