Will the US join the war against Iran? The US president has a dilemma

US President Donald Trump seriously considers the US inclusion in the war and conducting an American attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, primarily underground Fordo plants – Axios said on Tuesday, citing sources in the American authorities.

Three American officials told the website that at 13 On Tuesday (19 in Poland) Trump was to meet in a situation room in a White House with members of the National Security Council to decide on American policy towards the war between Israel and Iran.

US forces They will move more fighters to the Middle East region And they will extend the service of military aircraft already present there, “Reuters agency said on Tuesday, citing American officials. The Pentagon ensures a “defensive” character of the movement.

Sources maintain that Trump “seriously considers” joining the war against Iran and attacking the country's nuclear objects, including those deep underground in the mountains of Uranus enrichment plants in Fordo.

The US, unlike Israel, has bombers carrying penetrating bombs that could be used to attack underground objects, such as the Fordo.

Trump, who left the G7 summit in Canada earlier than planned, said on Tuesday that he wants a “real ending” of the conflict between Iran and Israel, and not just a suspension of weapons. In an interview with reporters on board Air Force One, he emphasized that Iran could not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons.

The White House discussed the possibility of a direct meeting with Iranians this week, but Trump announced that it would “depend on what would happen” when he returned to Washington.

Two representatives of the Israeli authorities told Axios that Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Establishment of the Israeli defense forces still believe that Trump will most likely join the war in the coming day to bomb the Iranian underground plant of uranium enrichment.

For now, the US helps Israel to capture bullets fired by Iran.

As Axios pointed out, the US Vice President JD Vance published an entry in social media in which he rejects criticism of some members of the Maga Movement (Make America Great Again) of Trump's involvement in this war.

The vice president wrote on platform X that Trump “shows extraordinary restraint” when it comes to maintaining the attention of the US armed forces on the protection of American soldiers and citizens.

“He may decide that he must take further action to end the enrichment (uranium) by Iran. This decision at the end belongs to the president. And of course people are right when they are worried about foreign involvement after the last 25 years of idiotic foreign policy,” Vance added.

However, Trump himself has posted a series of entries in the social network of Truth, in which, among others He wrote that the political and spiritual leader of Iran Ali Chamenei is “an easy goal”. “We know exactly where the so -called highest leader is hiding. He is an easy goal, but he is safe there. We do not intend to eliminate him (kill!), At least for now,” said the US President. “But we don't want shells fired at civilians or American soldiers. Our patience ends (…)” – added Trump.
