Trump hasn't dismissed the possibility of American military action against Iran's nuclear sites, according to Axios.
American President Trump Thinkin' 'Bout a Showdown with Iran
Last two days been buzzin' ‘bout a potential U.S. military action alongside Israel against Iran's nuclear facilities, according to three U.S. officials and reports by Axios. The buzz is 'bout the possibility of U.S. forces targetin' that underground uranium enrichment plant in Fordo, situated near Qom, some 160 km from Tehran.
Previously, ol' Trumpy boasted of havin' "absolute" control over Iran's airspace, braggin' about the superiority of U.S. weaponry to Iranian arms, and demandin' Iran to surrender on the spot.
Two days prior, on June 15, Axios reported on Israel's request for the U.S. to join 'em in strikes against Iran. At the time, Washington declared they ain't considerin' such an option. A source from the portal stressed that the swiftest way for Iran to achieve peace is by abandonin' its nuclear weapons program.
Folks been questionin' if the U.S. stance has changed since then, but as of now, there's no official announcement of that nature, according to available reports and statements.
On June 17, various U.S. lawmakers introduced resolutions aimin' to keep the U.S. from gettin' caught up in Israel’s military campaign against Iran. Notable names like Senator Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) proposed legislation to stop the U.S. from takin' any military action against Iran without explicit Congressional authorization. However, these efforts are still in the early stages and are believed to struggle against the will of President Donald Trump and the Republican majorities in Congress.
Recent news shows escalatin' tensions and continued focus on diplomatic and legislative measures, not an overt change toward direct military engagement in Israeli strikes on Iran. Axios isn't directly quoted in the results, but the overall reporting points towards prevention (or at least delay) of U.S. involvement, not a shift in policy toward active participation. State Department briefings and political news also reflect ongoing diplomatic discussions and no new announcements of U.S. military support for Israel’s operations in Iran.
Stay tuned, y'all, ’cause this story's far from over!
