‘I may do it, I may not’: Donald Trump refuses to confirm whether US will join Israeli strikes on Iran
Donald Trump, Ayatullah Ali Khamenei rejected unconditional surrender requests, then mocked the extraordinary possibility of US air strikes in Tehran on Wednesday.
Im I can do this. I can not, ”President said in the midst of a growing division between the inner environment as to whether he will participate in Israel’s attacks.
Following the latest air bombardment, thousands of people escaped from the Iranian capital and many shops closed and the streets left empty, “the next week will be too big,” he said.
Sir Keir Starmer, two days after expressing the confidence of Mr. Trump that he would not participate in the war between Iran and Israel, he chaired an emergency Cobra meeting during the Middle East crisis on Wednesday.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs evacuated the family members of the ambassador personnel from Israel, but did not recommend British citizens to leave the country.
On Tuesday, Trump asked Iran to be surrendered conditionally and issued a creepy warning that the US forces knew where the country’s 86 -year -old religious ruler Ayatullah Ali Khanenei was.
In a speech broadcast on Iranian television – its first appearance since the bombing began last Friday – the Supreme Leader said that any US intervention would lead to “irreparable damage”.
Mr. Khamenei did not explain the target of American assets. Last week, the Iranian Foreign Minister suggested that in addition to US military bases, British and French interests may be attacked if they support Israel’s bombing campaign. A Iranian diplomat had previously warned that the US intervention would have the risk of “all war”.
Israel began to try to neutralize what Tehran said it was a proposal to create a nuclear weapon six days ago.
The US and Israeli intelligence are different from how close Iran could be to build a nuclear bomb, and some American officials argue that Tehran was years after being able to do it. However, the UN’s nuclear guard dog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said last month that Iran “seriously worried” about the Uranium Enrichment Program.
The predictions of the Washington DC -based Science and Security Institute show that Iran can enrich hundreds of kilograms of weapons uranium in just three weeks enough to create nine nuclear weapons.
The Israeli army said that the latest Israeli strikes hit a facility used to make uranium centrifuges and hit a facility that makes missile components.
He said Iran had seized 10 missiles overnight as retaliation barriers decreased. IAEA said that Israel has built two centrifugal production facilities in and near Tehran.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said the army hit the center of Iran’s internal security forces on Wednesday without specifying the agency or place. Strike points to a shift to targeting Iran’s local security device, which has long broken against opposition and repressed protests.
Israel killed the best generals and nuclear scientists and hit various nuclear and military fields. A Washington -based Iranian Human Rights Group said that at least 585 people, including 239 civilians and more than 1,300 injured, have been killed.
Iran fired about 400 missiles and hundreds of drones in retaliation strikes, killed at least 24 people in Israel and wounded hundreds of people. Some hit the apartment buildings in the center of Israel and caused severe damage, and the air strikes forced the sirens again to shelter the Israelis again.
Iran fired less missiles as the conflict worn out. He did not explain the decline, but he targeted other infrastructure for Israeli launcher and missiles.
On Wednesday, Israel relieved some restrictions imposed on daily life by allowing Iran’s retaliation attacks, allowing meetings of 30 people and allowing the reopening of workplaces as long as there was a shelter nearby.
Schools are closed and many businesses remain closed, but the decision of Israel to reverse their ban in meetings and office work indicates the confidence of the Israeli army attacks that Iran’s ability to ignite the missiles.
