If there is an N-Talk with Iran’s collapse, it warns of military action
If an agreement to limit its nuclear program with Iran proves to be elusive, the US can take military action against it, President Donald Trump said in an interview published on Friday.
Trump’s comments, in an interview with Time magazine, came as the US and Iranian officials, marking their first three months in the office, ready to meet on the third consecutive Saturday in an attempt to reach an agreement, which would prevent Iran from receiving nuclear weapons. After being asked whether he was worried Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu Can pull him into war with Iran, Trump said: “If we cannot make a deal then I can go very voluntarily. If we do not make any deal, I will lead the pack.”
Trump has said that he felt that the conversation between the US and Iran was going well, but the officials of both sides have not achieved success.
Netanyahu has expressed openness to diplomacy if it leads to the completion of Iran’s nuclear program – a demand that has been rejected by Iranian authorities. Some Israeli officials have expressed concern that the US may agree to a deal that leaves some Iran’s nuclear program.
Last week, NYT reported that Israel had planned an attack on Iranian nuclear sites, but was held back by Trump, who first expressed support for an attempt to negotiate an agreement with Iran. Trump said he did not stop Israel from attacking Iran, but “did not rest for him.” Trump also said that he was open to a meeting with Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, or its president, Masood Pasasian.
