Recent developments have made clear that a US strike on Iran is a only matter of time, Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee member and Deputy Knesset Speaker MK Nissim Vaturi (Likud) said in an interview on 104.5 FM on Sunday.
Vaturi said that he believed that, despite America’s recent diplomatic talks with Iran, US President Donald Trump would strike Iran.
“Is Trump frustrated? Iran is about to fall apart, Trump isn’t frustrated for no reason,” he said.”There will be American action in the end, I don’t believe Trump will humiliate himself like that.
Trump said frustrated with limits of military leverage against Iran
US President Donald Trump is becoming frustrated with “the limits of military leverage” against Iran, CBS News reported Tuesday, citing multiple sources familiar with the matter.
According to the report, advisers have told the US president that it was unlikely that limited strikes on Iran would be decisive, and that there was a risk of escalation into a wider conflict.
Trump will base his decision on whether to strike Iran based on the assessments of his two chief negotiators, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, of Tehran’s intentions, The Guardian reported Tuesday.
