Trump wants to be sure that such an attack is really needed, he would not pull the US into a long -term war in the Middle East and, above all, whether he would really contribute to achieving the goal of destroying the Iranian nuclear program – American officials said.
“We will be ready to attack Iran. We are not yet convinced if we are necessary (…) and I think that the president is not yet convinced that we are needed,” said one of Axios's sources.
Vladimir Putin ready for conversations “even with Zelanski”. There is one condition
Doubts relate to bombs
As the portal emphasized, if the US joins the war, their goal will probably be to destroy underground uranium enrichment plants in Fordo. The destruction of this facility is Israel's priority, however, unlike the USA, it does not have the necessary penetrating bombs to carry out such an attack, transmitted by B-2 bombers.
Israel is afraid that if the Fordo object survives the attacks, the Iranian nuclear program will continue.
Trump was to ask his military advisers or penetrating bombs that are in the USA possession could really destroy the Fordo object – said an American official. Pentagon representatives told the president that this would be the case. However, it is not known if Trump is completely convinced of this.
On Wednesday, the president met at the White House at a meeting with advisers. One of Axios's interlocutors said that the president's patience ends with every minute and all options are on the table.
Earlier on Wednesday, Trump said that he did not want to suspend their weapons, but a complete and total victory, i.e. the lack of nuclear weapons of Iran. He stated that although he had not yet decided to bomb Iran, and negotiations are still possible, “maybe he would have to fight”. He noted that although he has some ideas on what to do, he has not yet made the final decision to involve Iran's attacks, because “he likes to wait until the last second” with the decision.
According to Trump, uncertainty about his decision regarding the attack makes Iran be under greater pressure – they conveyed the sources of the portal.
