United States President Donald Trump didn’t object when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told him during his recent visit to Washington that Israel may strike Iran again if the Islamic Republic resumed work on its nuclear program, The Wall Street Journal reported on July 12.
The U.S. supported Israel’s 12-day attack on Iran last month, and even joined in by attacking three of the Islamic Republic’s key nuclear sites, Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan, just two days before a ceasefire was announced on June 24.
According to the report, Trump told Netanyahu that he favors a diplomatic resolution and wants to use the threat of further attacks to coax Iran to sign a deal barring it from developing nuclear weapons.
The report said that Netanyahu could face pressure from Trump not to attack Iran in order to preserve diplomatic talks. It also quoted a senior Israeli official who said that Netanyahu wouldn’t necessarily ask for an explicit U.S. green light before attacking again.
The official added that Israel can prevent Iran from making a dash toward nuclear weapons in the short run, and also has intelligence on where Tehran could covertly try to resume its atomic program.
The last attack set back Iran’s nuclear program by one to two years, according to the U.S. The fate of the Islamic Republic’s stockpiles of highly enriched uranium remains unclear, however.
Some of the uranium, enriched to 60 percent, is reported to be under the rubble in the sites of Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan. Even if none of the uranium was removed from the sites before the attack, it can still be extracted.
While there is a general belief that 90 percent enriched uranium is strictly needed to manufacturer a nuclear weapon, the International Atomic Energy Agency actually considers highly enriched uranium, which is defined as uranium enriched to 20 percent or greater, as a “direct use” material, meaning it “can be used for the manufacture of nuclear explosive devices without transmutation or further enrichment.”
The Wall Street Journal indicates that Trump and Netanyahu have different points of view on how to proceed with Iran. However, the exact same story was promoted before Israel launched its surprise attack on Iran with full support from the U.S. on June 13.
Tehran should be very cautious, and even outright suspicious, of whatever comes out from the U.S., which is certainly not in disagreement with Israel.

putin betrayed syria and therefore iran will be destroyed.
considering that iran handed over innocent shiite afghans to the taliban, i don’t find this at all sad.
let him without guilt cast the first stone.
considering that iran is chasing dogs and women with their heads uncovered around tehran, i don’t find this sad. but putin pretended to be better than yeltsin and gorbachev, and he’s the same garbage.the thief netanyahu and the pedophile dump will not have a hard time with iran like obama and killary didn’t with gaddafi. i hope for the return of the shah and gaddafi to power, because the shah was destroyed by carter.
gaddafi would probably invade lebanon and free his brother. that would finally give netanyahu someone he didn’t find in jolani, because jolani is basically a hairy prostitute who sucks putin’s dick.
zsófia farkas is his mother, she is nice beautiful smart woman of croatian, hungarian and bosnian origin. that’s why he’s not a prostitute like jolana, whose mother got five dollars from every idf soldier with whom she slept. therefore, neither yahweh nor allah know which israelite made jolana.
you and your fake names. pungent as an open sewer
untrue he was a commoner to begin with lacking any royal blood line whatsoever and he did nothing, unlike his dad who was a great soldier, to deserve proclaiming himself as king of kings at his coronation directly confronting the pope who holds that title.
rather unlikely. more likely the cia planted ayatollah will be unplanted. imo
npc….npc…
nobody with half a brain trusts either one of these narcissistic liars anymore.
tell me how starmer was jumping on romanian and ukrainian gays, it’ll at least be fun.
starmer, 58, and victoria alexander, have 2 children, whom they are “bringing up to recognize the faith of part of their grandfather’s family, and it’s very important,” he said. “that bit of faith on friday is incredibly important, because we get together and we do zoom prayers now.”the family belong to london’s liberal jewish synagogue, which is situated in the st. john’s wood neighborhood and belongs to the liberal movement. 2020/12/29, time of israel
anyone with half a brain knows thaf the queen mum was correct when she told her favourite confidante to “never trust anybody”
years ago, decades actually, there were reports that in the white house they had the guest bedroom set up as an overnight mind control programming facility. whilst sleeping after being fed, guests were mass fed huge volumes of data. i was very suspicious of maxima enquiring very, i thought, pointedly, about how trump slept overnight as their guest and why melania didn’t want to accompany him to meet the royals.
they are being pumped with huge amounts of cocaine and adderrall now
this fake orange swine has turned into a neocon. sorry amercians, you cannot vote your way out of this. better man up and stage revolution. or you will be very embarrassed by more losses
turned? he always was. he thinks he’s reagan. who would revolt? most trumpets are happy, just as most israeli’s like what nutty is doing. just like israeli’s will believe all the manure nutty spreads, so do magats believe whatever inane crap flows from tramp. funny how evil flows like water when it has a champion in power. israel and the u.s. look, smell and act identical. i just think it’s funny they just now wonder about tramp and epstein.
ussa very desperate but we can now see they are unable to fight more than 1 major war at once. houthis and iran still control vital trade lines. the ussa empire cannot control trade lines, or win against men in sandals and no air force. they cannot do anything to stop russia or china. the noises you hear are in western medias. trump now owns the ukraine war, the middle east war and the trade wars. he is on the epstein list. the jewish termites are collapsing ussa
rule number one of politics: never trust the us!
where does south front get their information? the u.s. attacked more places than fordow? when? as for trump and using threats of attacks to persuade iran to forgo nukes. what crap. the issue is not nukes and never has been, that is u.s./israeli bs. they want regime change and nothing less. they have to have doorway to southern russia. the rest is window dressing for public consumption. iran had already agreed to no nukes.
all the israëli warplanes and ammo are made and paid by the us….
what will you traitorous russians do if dump puts the shah in charge of iran? whining and hypocrisy like in the case of syria? i know you bunch of worthless russians.
thaad system and aegis interceptors warships failed againts supersonic iranian missile….therefore israel know it and fear irani response.
something is off! israels first attack came at the cost of exposing how weak military they really are. let alone the fact that israel had to call on the united states for support being israel really dont have the means to fight or sustain a war of attrition with iran.
and so it all leads to one real conclusion. israel is angleing to justify its use of a nuclear weapon. i hope im wrong.
trump sincerely wants to settle white british in israel claiming their are chosen ones just to continue killing of arabs and africans.instead of allowing the return of black israelites.white europens re not israelites
