US EditionIran's Nuclear Threat Debated as Trump Considers US Role
IRAN, JUN 18 – President Trump is considering a military strike on Iran’s deeply buried Fordow nuclear site to prevent nuclear weapon development, with 224 fatalities reported from recent Israeli strikes, officials said.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump held an 80-minute Situation Room meeting with top advisers in Washington and then called Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu amid escalating Israel-Iran conflict.
- The intensifying conflict arose from recent Israeli attacks on Iran’s nuclear and military sites, with Trump considering a direct U.S. strike against Iran’s underground Fordow enrichment facility.
- The U.S. has so far provided defensive aid to Israel, including missile interceptions, but signs indicate a possible shift toward active military involvement as Trump has approved attack plans though no final decision was made.
- Trump demanded Iran’s unconditional surrender, claimed knowledge of the whereabouts of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and stated that the U.S. maintains full dominance of the airspace above Iran, while European leaders called for efforts to reduce tensions.
- The situation signals a critical turning point with growing risks of U.S. military action that could impact regional stability and Iran’s nuclear ambitions, while congressional Democrats call for legislative approval before U.S. involvement.
