Trump remains deliberately vague about his intentions: \u201cI may do it, I may not do it, nobody knows what I\u2019m going to do,\u201d he told reporters.
\n+
\nThe Wall Street Journal reported that Trump has already approved strike plans but is holding off to see if Iran will abandon its nuclear ambitions.<\/p>\n
As Trump explained: \u201cI like to make the final decision one second before it\u2019s due.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sources say he\u2019s warmed to the idea of targeting Iran\u2019s underground Fordow uranium enrichment site, aiming to destroy Tehran\u2019s nuclear capacity.<\/p>\n
Russia\u2019s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told Interfax this week that Moscow has advised the U.S. to steer clear of direct involvement, noting the conflict has already claimed hundreds of Iranian lives and dozens of Israeli casualties.<\/p>\n
His remarks followed Trump\u2019s demand for an \u201cunconditional surrender\u201d from Iran and his contemplation of strikes on the country\u2019s nuclear infrastructure.
\nIran\u2019s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei responded that any U.S. military intervention would be \u201ccostly\u201d, declaring: \u201cThe Iranian nation will not surrender.\u201d<\/p>\n
Russian spokesperson Maria Zakharova told Reuters: \u201cNuclear facilities are being struck\u2026 Where is the [concern from the] entire world community?\u201d<\/p>\n
Then came a chilling two-word warning: that the world is millimeters away from \u201cnuclear catastrophe\u201d.<\/p>\n
Moscow has also offered mediation \u2013 an offer Trump turned down, saying to Putin: \u201cDo me a favor. Mediate your own. Let\u2019s mediate Russia first.\u201d<\/p>\n
Putin later said Russia has proposed solutions to all parties: \u201cWe are not imposing anything on anyone; we are simply talking about how we see a possible way out of the situation. But the decision, of course, is up to the political leadership of all these countries, primarily Iran and Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite alarm bells over talk of \u201cWorld War III,\u201d experts remain skeptical that Russia would militarily intervene, per Time.<\/p>\n
While Iran and Russia signed a strategic partnership earlier this year, analysts note it lacks a mutual defense clause.<\/p>\n
As Middle East analyst Marianna Belenkaya explained, Russia is consumed by Ukraine and is \u201ctrying to restore or improve relations with Washington.\u201d<\/p>\n
Russia, China, and Pakistan have asked the UN Security Council to convene an emergency session.<\/p>\n
France, Germany, and the UK are meeting with Iran in Geneva this week to discuss nuclear issues, though the US is currently not involved.
\nIsrael has escalated its military operations, attacking Iranian missile sites and nuclear infrastructure.<\/p>\n
Israel and the US continue to question Tehran\u2019s nuclear intent. U.S. intelligence previously concluded Iran lacked a nuclear weapons program, but Trump dismissed such reports.<\/p>\n
Iran denies any ambition for nuclear arms, stating: \u201cWe have never sought and will never seek nuclear weapons,\u201d while stressing that \u201cthe current aggression by the region\u2019s only nuclear\u2011armed regime\u201d only highlights why they shouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
