United States President Donald Trump on Wednesday said that Israel would be the 바카라leader바카라 of a potential military strike against Iran if Tehran does not give up its nuclear weapons program.
Trump made the remarks ahead of planned talks involving U.S. and Iranian officials in Oman. Trump earlier this week said the talks would be 바카라direct바카라, while Iran has described the engagement as 바카라indirect바카라 talks with the U.S., the AP reported.
The U.S. and other world powers reached a long-term nuclear deal in 2015 that limited Tehran바카라s uranium enrichment in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions. But Trump unilaterally withdrew the U.S. from the nuclear deal in 2018, calling it the 바카라worst deal ever바카라.
What Did President Trump Say?
바카라If it requires military, we바카라re going to have military,바카라 Trump said. "Israel will obviously be very much involved in that. They바카라ll be the leader of that. But nobody leads us, and we do what we want to do."
The United States is increasingly concerned as Tehran is closer than ever to a workable weapon. But Trump said on Wednesday that he doesn't have a definitive timeline for the talks to come to a resolution.
바카라When you start talks, you know, if they바카라re going along well or not," Trump said. "And I would say the conclusion would be what I think they바카라re not going along well. So that바카라s just a feeling.바카라
Iran and the United States, under President Joe Biden, held indirect talks aimed at restoring the nuclear deal in Vienna in 2021. But those talks and others between Tehran and European countries failed to reach an agreement.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Treasury Department earlier on Wednesday issued new sanctions targeting Iran바카라s nuclear program.
Five entities and one individual based in Iran are named in the new sanctions for supporting Iran's nuclear program. The designated groups include the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran and the subordinate Iran Centrifuge Technology Company, Thorium Power Company, Pars Reactors Construction and Development Company, and Azarab Industries Company.
바카라I want Iran to be great,바카라 Trump said Wednesday. 바카라The only thing that they can바카라t have is a nuclear weapon. They understand that.바카라
Iranian President Stance
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian again pledged Wednesday that his nation is 바카라not after a nuclear bomb바카라 and even dangled the prospect of direct American investment in the Islamic Republic if the countries can reach a deal.
The comments by the reformist leader represent a departure from Iran바카라s stance after its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, in which Tehran sought to buy American airplanes but in effect barred U.S. companies from coming into the country.
바카라His excellency has no opposition to investment by American investors in Iran,바카라 Pezeshkian said in a speech in Tehran, referring to Iran바카라s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. 바카라American investors: Come and invest.바카라
What Did Netanyahu Say?
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this week said he supports Trump바카라s diplomatic efforts to reach a settlement with Iran. He added that Israel and the U.S. share the same goal of ensuring that Iran does not develop a nuclear weapon. Netanyahu, however, led efforts to persuade Trump to pull out of a U.S.-brokered deal with Iran in 2018.
The Israeli leader, known for his hawkish views on Iran and past calls for military pressure, said he would welcome a diplomatic agreement along the lines of Libya바카라s deal with the international community in 2003. But that deal saw Libya바카라s late dictator Moammar Gadhafi give up all of his clandestine nuclear program. Iran has insisted its program, acknowledged to the International Atomic Energy Agency, should continue.
바카라I think that would be a good thing,바카라 Netanyahu said. 바카라But whatever happens, we have to make sure that Iran does not have nuclear weapons.바카라
