U.S. reportedly considering possible strike on Iran this weekend
The U.S. is reportedly considering a possible strike on Iran this weekend, according to recent developments in the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict. The decision comes as tensions escalate between the two nations, with Israeli strikes on Iran's nuclear sites continuing for a sixth day.American strikes could involve using superior weaponry to hit an underground nuclear site at Fordo, according to five sources who spoke to the BBC's US partner CBS News [1]. The U.S. president, Donald Trump, has shown increasing frustration over a perceived lack of progress in securing a new deal to prevent Iran from building a nuclear weapon. Trump pulled out of a previous accord with Iran during his first term and has since dispatched negotiators to try to reach a new agreement without success.
Trump's social media posts have further fueled the tension. He threatened Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and said the U.S. knew where he was. The Iranian supreme leader responded directly, stating that the country would never surrender and that any form of U.S. military intervention would be met with irreparable harm [1].
The U.S. has moved 30 jets from bases in America to Europe over the past three days, raising speculation about a potential U.S. involvement in the conflict. The U.S. has insisted that Iran must scrap its uranium enrichment to prevent the country from developing nuclear weapons, although Iran maintains that its nuclear activities are entirely peaceful [1].
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov has issued a warning about the situation at the Bushehr nuclear power plant, saying it is "extremely dangerous" due to Israel's ongoing strikes targeting Iran [2]. The international community will continue to monitor the situation closely over the coming days and weeks.
