Donald
Trump is reportedly considering entering the Israel-Iran conflict and joining
Israel’s strikes on Iran.
Only the
Americans have a bomb capable of destroying the Fordo nuclear facility, which
is located deep underground, and could be one potential target for the US.
In the
past three days, at least 30 US military tanker aircraft, which are used to
refuel fighter jets and bombers, have been flown to Europe, the BBC reported.
The US has also ordered a second carrier group, the USS Nimitz, to the Middle
East, part of preparations experts say would be necessary for the strike.
On
Tuesday, Trump’s appetite for diplomacy appeared to be waning.
“I’m not
too much in the mood to negotiate with Iran,” he told reporters aboard Air
Force One, returning early from the Group of 7 summit in Canada to the focus on
the escalating Israel-Iran conflict
Trump
added that his objective in Iran was “an end, a real end, not a ceasefire”.
He then
posted on Truth Social, calling for Iran’s “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” adding
that the US knew the location of Iran’s supreme leader, but it would not kill
him “for now”.
CNN
reported that his new “more hawkish posture” represents a significant shift in
Trump’s stance. It is also dividing his advisers.
However,
the outlet added that sources said the US president “remains open to a
diplomatic solution - if Iran makes significant concessions”.
