Trump is considering joining Israel’s strikes in Iranian nuclear locations

US President Donald Trump considers whether he is participating in the strikes of Israel in the nuclear locations of Iran, while the conflict continues for a sixth day and angry rhetoric rises between all sides.

American strikes can contain the use of superior weapons to hit an underground nuclear site in Fordo, according to five sources that spoke with the American partner CBS News of the BBC.

The president met his national security team on Tuesday to discuss the next steps.

Israel and Iran have exchanged deadly strikes since Friday. Analysts say that Trump’s comments suggest the willingness to become a member of the Israelis, despite his earlier call to de-escalation and his vocal support for a diplomatic solution to limit Iran’s nuclear research.

He has shown increasing frustration about a observed lack of progress to secure a new deal that would be aimed at preventing Iran to build a nuclear weapon. During his first term, Trump pulled himself from an earlier agreement with Iran.

In a social media post on Tuesday, Trump threatened the Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei and said the US knew where he was.

“He is an easy target, but is safe there,” wrote Trump. “We are not going to take him out (kill!), At least not for now. But we don’t want rockets that have been shot on civilians or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin.”

Another message from Trump was simply: “Unconditional surrender!”

On Wednesday, Iran’s Supreme Leader responded directly to the comments and said that the country would never surrender.

“Every form of American military intervention will undoubtedly get irreparable damage,” said Khamenei.

“Wise people who know Iran, his people and her history never speak to this nation in the language of threats, because Iranians are not those who surrender,” he added.

The US has insisted that Iran should delete its uranium enrichment to prevent the country from developing nuclear weapons – although Iran says that its nuclear activities are completely peaceful.

Trump withdrew from an earlier nuclear agreement between Iran and five other world powers in 2018. After his return to his office, he sent negotiators to try to reach a new agreement with the Nation in the middle, without a breakthrough.

Trump seems to have cooled traditional diplomacy in recent days. On Tuesday, while he returned to the US from a G7 top in Canada, he said he “was not too much in the mood to negotiate with Iran”.

The frustrated language of Trump implied that he crossed a threshold that would “be very difficult to row back,” Professor Amnon Aran, an Israeli expert in foreign policy, told BBC Radio 5 Live.

“We are definitely closest near an American entry in the conflict since it started, he added.

Other experts suggested that Trump could be forced into action. A former Israeli ambassador in the US, Michael ears, speculated that the president would feel that he had little choice than to intervene if Iran attacked an American ship or basic.

However, such an attack can also be an Iranian tactic to encourage Trump to put pressure on Israel to negotiate the fighting, De Heer ears told the Today program of BBC Radio 4.

Trump himself told reporters on his return of the G7 that his goal was “an end, a real ending, not stopping -the fire”. His comments came only a few hours after he joined other leaders in the Western Alliance when issuing a statement that called for de-escalation in the Middle East.

Trump left the top early to respond to the crisis from Washington, before a series of statements observers unclear which way he could choose.

A message in which Iranians encouraged to evacuate Tehran caused a flurry of speculation in the same way, As well as fear in the Iranian capital itself.

The American Minister of Defense Pete Hegseeth previously announced the “deployment of extra capacities” in the middle to improve the “defensive attitude” of the Pentagon, despite the denial of US officials when they participated in the military action.

At least 30 American military planes have been moved from bases to Europe to Europe in the last three days, has demonstrated the Flight tracking data rated by BBC Conversion.

It was unclear whether the American movements were directly connected to the Israel-Iran conflict, but one expert said that the tank aircraft were “very unusual”.

Another expert said that the movements can be part of a broader policy of “strategic ambiguity” aimed at influencing Iran to make concessions.

Registering for Israeli military action does not have a complete agreement of Trump’s close advisers, CBS reported. But the different voices have not become public.

There are also a wide range of views within the supporter base of Trump. The Republican ran for re-election on the basis of the fact that he would discharge America from conflicts abroad, and he previously criticized the American intervention in the Middle East.

About the matter of Iran’s ability to build a nuclear weapon, there seems to be a different assessment by Trump and his director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard.

Asked on Tuesday about the earlier suggestion of Gabbard that Iran did not work on a nuclear core head, Trump replied: “I don’t care what she said. I think they were very close.”

Advisors from both Trump and Gabbard later denied that the couple did not agree with the issue.

There were no dead at night from Tuesday to Wednesday in Israel due to Iranian rocket attacks.

And more than 50 Israeli fighter jets carried out activities in Iran at night, with strikes on an Iranian centrifuge facility, a rocket production facility near Tehran and a university linked to the revolutionary guards of Iran.

Israel is the most important partner of America in the middle and Trump, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remained in the midst of widespread international conviction of Israel’s military actions in Gaza after the Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023.
