US President Donald Trump has yet to make a final decision on military strikes against Iran, emphasizing he prefers to decide at the last moment amid escalating tensions following Israel’s recent attacks on Iranian nuclear and military sites last Friday (13 June).
He said that he prefers to make the decision “one second before it’s due.”
Speaking to reporters, Trump said, “I don’t want war, but if it’s a choice between war and them having a nuclear weapon, you have to do what you have to do, and maybe there won’t be a war.”
The president emphasized that the situation is rapidly changing and that war is a very bad thing. He also added that he will hold a meeting soon in the Situation Room.
Tensions between Israel and Iran continue to rise. On 13 June, Israel launched large-scale attacks on Iran’s nuclear and military facilities. In response, Iran has blasted Tel Aviv, denying it has the capability of creating a nuclear weapon.
When asked if the Iranian government might collapse amid these attacks, Trump responded, “Anything could happen.”
The US President also mentioned that Iranian officials want to visit The White House. However, an official at Iran’s mission to the United Nations denied these claims on social media, stating, “No Iranian official has ever begged at the gates of The White House.”
Israeli airstrikes have resulted in 585 deaths and at least 1,326 injuries in Tehran and other densely populated areas.
In response, Iran launched ballistic missile strikes that killed 24 people and injured more than 500 in Israel according to the latest figures.
