Trump says he would ‘absolutely’ consider bombing Iran again
US President Donald Trump said he would “absolutely” consider Iran.
Answering a question from the BBC Nomia Iqbal at a Blanche Press Point, he said that he “undoubtedly” would attack the country if intelligence concluded that Iran could enrich uranium at levels concerning levels.
The United States was directly involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran last weekend, hitting key nuclear sites with “Bunker Buster” bombs before Trump quickly sought a cease-fire.
In a speech Thursday, the supreme chief of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said that strikes had done nothing on Friday, but Trump repeated his assertion that the country’s nuclear sites had been “erased”.
Position on his social media platform Truth Social later, Trump said that he knew “exactly” where the Ayatollah had sheltered and that he had personally prevented the Israeli and American armed forces from targeting him.
It is understood that the Iranian chief was forced to hide during the two -week war in his country with Israel.
All parts of the conflict won the victory, the Ayatollah telling the Iranians that Israel and Iran had not disrupted the country’s nuclear program.
However, the country’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Abbas Araghchi later admitted that “excessive and serious” damage were caused to the country’s nuclear sites by recent American and Israeli bombings.
Reacting to the comments of Ayatollah, Trump repeated his claims that Iran was “decimated”.
“Why the so-called” supreme chief “” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, from the country torn apart by the war, says so obviously and stupidly that he won the war with Israel, when he knows that his statement is a lie, “added Trump.
Trump said that he had “worked on the possible referral of sanctions” against Iran, but that he had decided to “immediately” abandon all work on the relief of sanctions after Ayatollah published his declaration of “anger, hatred and disgust”.
Iran has always insisted that its nuclear program is only intended for civil ends.
The last conflict between Israel and Iran began when Israel has launched attacks on Iranian nuclear sites and military infrastructure, with a number of nuclear scientists and killed military commanders.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that “if they did not stop, Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time”.
CBS News, the American BBC partner, reported that the White House had envisaged a range of options to attract Iran to the negotiating table, in particular by facilitating the financing of a civil nuclear program, non-enrichment.
But Iran denied that it is about to resume nuclear talks with the United States, after Trump said at a NATO summit in The Hague on Wednesday that negotiations were to start again next week.
The Iranian Ministry of Health said 610 people had been killed during the 12 days of air attacks, while the Israeli authorities said 28 had been killed in Israel.
