Days after Iran Israel war, Trump makes big move, decides to ink mega deal with Tehran worth Rs…, plans to remove…, Israel says…
Following the ceasefire agreement between Iran and Israel, United States President Donald Trump’s stance towards Tehran has changed. According to top Iranian officials and sources in the Trump administration, the US is planning to provide USD 20–30 billion for Iran’s nuclear program and is ready to remove sanctions imposed on the Middle Eastern country. Meanwhile, Israel said that if needed, it will not hesitate to attack the Middle Eastern country again.
Israel’s Defence Minister Israel Katz said that his country started the war without knowing the fact that whether the US would support it or not. He said that Israel does not know where the uranium reserves are, but if needed, it will attack Iran again.
Meanwhile, sources in the Trump administration said that the US will not give money to Iran directly, but it will provide the help through Arab countries. Katz told news outlets that Israel would attack Iran again if necessary. He told Channel 12, ‘We will not allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons and long-range missiles.’
He acknowledged that Israel does not know the location of Iran’s enriched uranium, but also claimed that recent airstrikes had destroyed Tehran’s enrichment capabilities.
‘We would have killed Khamenei but did not get a chance’, he said.
Who wanted to kill Iran’s Supreme Leader?
Responding to a question on eliminating Khamenei, Israel’s Defence Minister said, ‘If Khamenei had been within our reach, we would have killed him. We did try.’
He said that Israel’s defence forces wanted to neutralise Iran’s supreme leader but did not get a chance.
‘Israel wanted to eliminate Khamenei, but did not get a chance to do so.’ When Katz was asked whether Israel had sought permission from America for this, he answered, ‘We do not need anyone’s permission for these things,’ he said.
‘We don’t need permission from America’
Responding to Channel 13 question regarding confirmation from the US to kill Khamenei, Katz stated that such actions don’t require external approval.
What did Trump say about Khamenei?
In a social media post on June 17, Trump said, ‘We know exactly where the so-called Supreme Leader is hiding. He is an easy target, but he is safe there – we will not eliminate (kill) him, at least not yet.’
Notably, a public debate is going on over whether the airstrikes caused significant damage to Iran’s nuclear program. However, some reports suggest that Iran was on track to possess a nuclear weapon within months.
Israeli and American officials believe that Iran has suffered heavy damage. According to Katz, ‘It will take them many years, but we (Israel) will not let this happen.
