US President Donald Trump has approved the Iranian nuclear facility plan, but has not yet submitted the final order to start the operation. According to The Wall Street Journal , citing knowledgeable sources, Trump expects Iran to agree to the agreement, and only then will make the final decision.
In the center of a potential attack - a well -fortified nuclear object in Fordo, which is located below the mountain. According to experts, only the most powerful anti -bunning weapons of the United States can reach it. It is the effectiveness of these blows that raises doubts in Trump.
"Maybe I will do it, and maybe not," the US president answered the journalist's direct question about a possible blow to Iranian nuclear facilities.
Axios notes that in recent days, Trump has been actively consulting with the Pentagon, trying to understand whether rockets will be able to destroy the underground plant in Ford. Representatives of the defense department assure that the chance of success is high, but the head of the White House seeks full confidence.
In addition to military efficiency, Trump is concerned about the prospect of involving the US in a long war in the Middle East. He emphasizes that the main goal is the destruction of the Iranian nuclear program, without the deployment of a large -scale conflict.
“The hopper destroyer will work. This is not a question of opportunity. We have opportunities. But there is a whole plan. It's not just to drop the bomb and declare a victory, ”quotes the American high -ranking official Axios .
