Trump sets deadline of two weeks to decide if US will join Israel’s war on Iran | Israel

The White House said Donald Trump has set a two -week deadline to decide whether the United States will participate in the war with Israel with Iran and allowed an end to search for a negotiated conflict.

The decision to leave a window for diplomacy came after the Israeli Minister of Defense explicitly adopted the change of regime in Tehran as a war purpose.

During a visit to a hospital hit by an Iranian missile, Israel Katz said that Iran’s upper leader Ayatullah Ali Khanei, who ordered an increase in the attacks to “weaken the Iranian government to“ exist ”and the Iranian government.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, then the overthrow of Iran’s leaders, as the conflict entered the seventh day of the “specified or not an official target” insisted.

The White House said on Thursday that the US President would decide whether he would attack Iran in two weeks ”. He added that the correspondence with Tehran continued and still hope for negotiation.

Trump’s decision to participate in the attack against Iran, the US’s most powerful traditional traditional “Bunker Buster” bombs, Iran’s most severely protected nuclear facility, he said.

Israel has no weapons that can destroy the Fordow complex, which is buried up to 100 meters of a mountain near the holy city city. Netanyahu and its allies encourage the US to take part in the attack from Israel’s defense to the attack. Tell Trump that Iran can “finish” Iran’s nuclear project.

Sources, strike plans have been prepared, but Trump is waiting to see if Tehran will make a last -minute agreement to leave his nuclear program.

In the midst of global warnings against further rise, the European war is pressure on a diplomatic solution. Iranian Foreign Minister travels to Geneva on Friday to meet British, French and German colleagues. There are also proposals of mediation from regional powers, including Russian President Vladimir Putin and Oman.

On Thursday, British Foreign Minister David Lammy met with Marco Rubio in the United States in the White House, focusing on the Middle East.

For the meeting, British Ambassador Lord Mandelson and Trump’s ambassador to the Middle East attended Steve Witkoff.

Lammy later said: “The situation in the Middle East remains dangerous. We decide that Iran should never have a nuclear weapon… We discussed how an agreement can prevent a deepening conflict.

“Now it’s time to stop the grave scenes in the Middle East and to prevent a regional climb that will not benefit anyone.”

When Israel started a clash a week ago, Netanyahu described it as an operation focused on stopping Iran’s progress of making nuclear bombs, but it was increasingly vocal about the desire to fall into the government in Tehran.

Netanyahu said that after being shot by an Iranian missile overnight, Netanyahu said that Israel had created conditions for the regime change, but said that Iranians should rise.

Netanyahu said to journalists: “Today, the Jewish state creates tools to save Persia people.” He said.

Netanyahu later said that the fall of the Iranian regime was the decision of the people of the country. “This may be a result, but it is not an official target, Kan the Israeli public publisher said to Kan.

For decades, the Iranians tried to overthrow their governments or reform them, and thousands of people paid their lives or freedoms.

Many opposition figures, including political prisoners, rejected the idea that a war of Israeli that killed hundreds of civilians represented the way of salvation for their countries.

After the US forces overthrew Saddam Hussein, there is a terrible warning in the fate of neighboring Iraq. The fall was celebrated by many Iraqi, but it has been excessive and often sectarian violence that led to the rise of the Islamic State.

Katz visited the Soroka Hospital before Netanyahu and effectively called Khamenei’s assassination. Previously, he said he had ordered increasing attacks on government targets to weaken the regime.

“Khamenei clearly declares that Israel wants to be destroyed, personally ordered journalists to report journalists. “Such a man can no longer be allowed to exist.”

After his first focus on military and nuclear areas, Israel attacked the goals that Katz described as the “symbols of the regime ,, but which has recently been connected to the nuclear project, including the state publisher.

Shlomi Kodesh, Iran’s Soroka Hospital in Beersheba early in the morning does not cause serious injuries, because all staff and patients are in the protected areas.

However, the images of the shattered wards and stunned medical officials who examine the damage causing anger in Israel.

The other missiles landed around Tel Aviv, and as a whole, more than 200 people and four took four people throughout the country.

One hit the base of a skyscraper in Ramat Gan, close to Central Tel Aviv and about 200 meters from the city’s diamond change.

Asher Adiv, a 69 -year -old living in a nearby apartment block, said, “It was like an atomic bomb. An earthquake”. He was an Iranian Jew from his mother Isfahan, and Asher Farsi grew up talking.

“The Iranian people should make a revolution and throw Ayatollahs,” he said. “We are not just fighting for Israel. We are fighting for the whole world. We want Trump to come in and finish the problem.”

Initially, Trump, who took him away from conflict, increased the US military presence to order the US forces to join Iran.

The US President was the first issue of Tel Aviv residents wanted to argue, because they gathered in the police cord to watch the first intervention teams work between rubble and shattered glass.

Adiv The wife of Adiv, who emigrated from Morocco in 1969, said, “Tell Donald Trump to be with us. He has to bomb them to finish nuclear areas.”

On Wednesday, Khamenei warned that if the United States shifted to an active role in an active role in the attacks on its territory without supporting Israel’s defense, it will encounter “irreparable damage”.

Iran’s army carried missiles to prepare for attacks on US assets if he joined the war, and the authorities are thinking of other options to respond to one of the most serious threats since the 1979 Revolution, which put the country under the control of the clergy.

Reuters said that Behnam Saeedi, a member of the National Security Committee of Iran’s Parliament, could try to close Iran’s Hormuz Strait. The narrow passage is used by ships with one -fifth of the world’s daily oil needs.

The Israeli planes bombed the partially built heavy water reactor near Arak on Thursday and returned to the Natanz nuclear complex.

State TV said there was no risk of radiation from the strike in the reactor. Israeli warnings meant that the region was evacuated.

Heavy water reactors are considered to be a risk of proliferation because they can produce plutonium, an alternative for uranium enriched for the nucleus of a nuclear weapon. Israel also targeted the Natanz site, which was shot several times.

Iran says the nuclear program is for peaceful purposes. Just before the war began, it was censored by the International Atomic Energy Agency, and the only state of non -nuclear weapons that enriched the uranium to 60%is a technical step away from the level of weapons.

Israel, which does not sign the foreseeing of the prediction of nuclear weapons, is the only nuclear armed force in the region. He never confirmed or rejected having nuclear weapons, but his status has been a clear secret for years.

As a few countries are preparing to evacuate their citizens from Iran and Israel, flights are starting to bring back tens of thousands of Israelites trapped outside the country. Israel’s main airport has been closed since the first attacks on Iran.
