"U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed on Friday that he is considering a targeted attack against Iran to pressure the country into agreeing to a deal on its nuclear program. Speaking at a breakfast with state governors at the White House, he responded to a question about whether he was considering such a move: I guess I can say I am considering that, he replied."
"Washington wants Tehran to withdraw its support for the radical Islamist groups it backs in the Middle East and to limit the range of its missiles so they cannot attack Israel, as well as to renounce uranium enrichment and dispose of its existing stockpile. The Islamic Republic refuses to include its ballistic missile program in the negotiations and rejects any commitment to cease uranium enrichment in the future, something it considers its right as a signatory to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons."
U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed consideration of a targeted attack on Iran to pressure Tehran into a nuclear agreement. Iran states it will respond with force if attacked. The Pentagon is amassing a major military buildup in the Middle East amid the possibility of ordered strikes if indirect talks fail. Trump indicated a decision could come within 10 to 15 days. In Geneva, Iran pledged to present a detailed proposal to bridge wide gaps. Washington demands withdrawal of support for radical Islamist groups, limits on missile range, renunciation of uranium enrichment and disposal of its stockpile. Iran refuses to include ballistic missiles in negotiations and rejects commitments to cease enrichment, citing NPT rights. Limited strikes against military or government targets are under consideration and could be repeated if initial strikes fail.
