Israel could be preparing a strike on Iran, President Trump confirmed while speaking to the press on Thursday; “could very well happen” soon, Trump said.
Multiple reports circulated late Wednesday suggesting an Israeli strike on Tehran may be coming to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
“I don’t want to say imminent,” Trump said of the possibility of an Israeli attack, “but it looks like it’s something that could very well happen.
“Look, it’s very simple, not complicated,” the president said. “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Other than that, I want them to be successful. I want them to be tremendous. We’ll help them be successful. We’ll trade with them. We’ll do whatever is necessary.”
“I’d much prefer an agreement, as long as I think there is an agreement, I don’t want [Israel] going in, because I think it would blow it,” he said. “Might help it, actually, but it also could blow it.”
From The New York Post:
Israel could go forward with the attack without US assistance, NBC News reported early Thursday, citing five sources familiar with the matter.
Trump has expressed frustration with Iran over the lack of progress in the indirect talks, telling reporters Thursday that Tehran is “going to have to negotiate a little bit tougher, meaning they’re going to have to give us some things that they’re not willing to give us.”
In an interview with Post columnist Miranda Devine on the debut episode of “Pod Force One,” Trump said he was “less confident” about reaching an agreement than he had been a couple months earlier.
“It would be nicer to do it without warfare, without people dying, it’s so much nicer to do it,” the president said about winding down Iran’s nuclear program.
“But I don’t think I see the same level of enthusiasm for them to make a deal. I think they would make a mistake, but we’ll see. I guess time will tell.”
