President Donald Trump urged Iran on Friday to quickly reach an agreement on curbing her nuclear program, while Israel promised to continue his bombing of the country.
Trump was the fleeting moment in the middle -East as a possible “second chance” for the leadership of Iran to prevent further destruction “before there is nothing left and saves what was once known as the Iranian Empire.” The Republican President urged Iran while he met his national security team in the situation room to discuss the tricky path ahead after the devastating strikes of Israel, who promised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “as many days” to remove the nuclear program of Iran.
The White House said that it had no involvement in the strikes, but Trump emphasized that Israel used his deep arsenal of weapons that was provided by the US to focus on the most important enrichment facility of Iran in Natanz and the ballist rocket program of the country, as well as top nuclear scientists and civil servants.
Trump said on his social social platform that he had warned Iran’s leaders that “it would be much worse than everything they know, anticipated or told, that the United States makes by far the best and most deadly military equipment all over the world, and that Israel has a lot of it, and they know how to use it.” Just a few hours before Israel launched his strikes on Iran early on Friday, Trump still held on to torn threads of hope that the long -flocking dispute could be resolved without military action. Now he will be tested again on his ability to submit a campaign bow to unravel the US from foreign conflicts.
In the aftermath of the Israeli strikes, the US shifts its military agents, including ships, in the middle, because it seems to monitor possible retaliation attacks by Tehran, according to two American officials talking about the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.
The Navy has instructed the torpedo hunter USS Thomas Hudner to sail to the Eastern Mediterranean Sea and has instructed a second torpedo hunter to move forward, so this can be available if requested by the White House.
When Israel performed the planning for strikes in recent weeks, Iran had indicated that the United States would be held responsible in the case of an Israeli attack. The warning was issued by the Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, even while he had conversations with Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff about the rapidly advancing nuclear program of Tehran.
Friday’s strikes came when Trump intended to send Witkoff to Oman on Sunday for the next round of discussions with Iranian Foreign Minister.
Witkoff is still planning to go to Oman this weekend for conversations about Tehran’s nuclear program, but it is unclear whether the Iranians will participate, according to American officials who spoke about the condition of anonymity to describe private diplomatic discussions.
The president made a series of phone calls to American television news anchors on Friday to extend his calls to Iran to curb his nuclear program.
CNN’s Dana Bash said that Trump told her that the Iranians “should now come to the table” and get a deal. And Trump told NBC News that Iranian officials “call me to speak” but did not give any further details.
Trump also spoke with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron about the developing situation, as well as Netanyahu.
In the meantime, the oil prices jumped and the shares were to ensure that escalating violence could influence the flow of crude oil all over the world, together with the global economy.
Sen Tim Kaine, D-VA., Bare rare words of Democratic praise for the Trump government after the attack “for prioritizing diplomacy” and “abandoning participation” in the military strikes. But he also expressed deep concern about what the Israeli strikes could mean for our staff in the region.
Pennsylvania Gov Josh Shapiro, who stands on the shortlist of Democrats for the Top 2028 White House opportunities, said whether Israel can reduce Iran’s nuclear program with the strikes “It is probably a good day for the world.” “But make no mistake: we don’t want a total war in the Middle East,” said Shapiro. “That is not only bad for the middle -old, it is destabilization for the world, and it is something that I hope will not happen.”
On Friday, Israel launched sizzling attacks on the heart of the nuclear and military structure of Iran and deployed war aircraft and drones that previously smuggled into the country to attack important facilities and to kill top generals and scientists – a barrage that it was necessary for the opponent to build an atoom wap.
Iran took revenge through the unleashed of dozens of ballistic missiles on Israel, where explosions ran over Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and the buildings shake below. The American military assisted Israel assisted the rockets fired by Iran during the retaliation attack.
In the hours before the Israeli attack on Iran, Trump still seemed hopeful in public comments that there would be more time for diplomacy.
But it was clear for the administration that Israel was on its way to military action against Iran. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the US Army focus on Wednesday a voluntary evacuation of non -essential staff and their loved ones from some American diplomatic outdoor posts in the middle -east.
Before Israel launched the strikes, some of Trump’s strongest supporters were concerned about what another expansive conflict in the middle could mean for the Republican president, who had a promise to quickly terminate the brutal wars in Gaza and Ukrainine.
Trump has difficulty finding an endgame for one of those conflicts and to make up for the promises of two of his largest foreign policy campaign verts.
And after criticizing President Joe Biden during last year’s campaign to prevent Israel from performing strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, Trump noticed that he committed the matter to the Israelis to give diplomacy a chance.
The urge of the Trump government to convince Tehran to give up its nuclear program came after the US and other world powers reached a long-term, extensive nuclear agreement that limited the enrichment of Uranium from Tehran in exchange of economic sanctions.
But Trump unilaterally withdrew from the Obama agreement in 2018 and called it the ‘worst deal ever’. The road forward is now even more cloudy.
“No problem currently divides the right as much as the foreign policy,” Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA and an ally of the Trump Witte Huis placed on Thursday X. “I am very concerned on the basis of (everything) that I have seen in the base in recent months that this will cause a huge schism in Maga and possibly disrupt our momentum and our incredibly successful presidency.”
