The US President, Donald Trump, during a session with his advisory panel – the “Peace Council” as it’s known – indicated that the government might conclude the subsequent measures concerning Iran within roughly the next 10 days, subject to whether an agreement is achieved concerning its atomic initiative.
The Wall Street Journal carries this report.
“We might implement another action, or we might not. Possibly, we’ll finalize an agreement. You’ll probably ascertain in roughly the next 10 days,” Trump articulated.
The declaration surfaced amidst prolonged talks between the United States and Iran, facilitated by intermediaries, with the Washington administration urging that Tehran consent to a fresh atomic agreement that would safeguard the interests of both the United States and its allies, while also ceasing its backing for proxy groups operating within the region.
Should diplomatic initiatives prove unsuccessful, Trump has not dismissed the prospect of employing military force. According to sources, the White House is weighing diverse scenarios, including restricted bombardments on Iranian installations, to compel Iran into making concessions without instigating a protracted conflict in the Middle East.
This strategy underscores a delicate equilibrium between applying pressure on Iran and the intent to avert a comprehensive confrontation, albeit imposing strain on the international community and Tehran in the context of its atomic scheme and regional stability.
As a reminder, outlets like CBS News and CNN have cited sources claiming that US President Donald Trump is nearing a verdict on large-scale strikes targeting Iran. It’s highlighted that the US military is poised for prospective strikes as early as Saturday. The sources further assert that the leader of the White House hasn’t yet determined conclusively whether to initiate strikes.
Axios had previously conveyed that Trump is progressively gravitating towards a broad assault on Iran. It is emphasized that the United States and Iran are bordering on a war. Sources quoted by the paper suggest that this military endeavor is apt to be an extensive campaign spanning several weeks.
