🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman has released a statement, accusing the United States of 'moving the goalposts' and lack of seriousness and good faith

This is possibly a response to the change in the location of the talks, or the fact that U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff changed his rhetoric in public to be more hawkish just days after the talks in Oman, where he came off as quite reasonable.

❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇱/🇮🇷 BREAKING: The Trump administration had serious plans for a large scale US-Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear sites, but President Trump rejected the plan, preferring negotiations to a regional war

According to the report, a military strike on Iran had been actively debated within the administration during the past month, and was planned for possibly as early as May.

The strikes were supposed to be joint US-Israeli, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu personally traveled to Washington D.C. to try to convince President Trump to give the green light, which he refused.

Many senior administration officials, including the Secretary of Defense, warned that a war with Iran would be 'catastrophic' and that it would be highly controversial among the U.S. populace. – New York Times / Reuters

❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇱/🇮🇷 NEW: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu proposed a plan involving Israeli 'commando raids' on several underground nuclear sites throughout Iran

Netanyahu wanted the raids to be supported by American airstrikes. When high-ranking IDF officials told Netanyahu the plan was incredibly complicated and would only be ready by October, he demanded it be prepared earlier, preferably by May. – New York Times

The Invincibility complex is wild.
❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇱/🇮🇷 NEW: There is a unanimous assessment within U.S. and Israeli military circles that an effective attack on Iran's nuclear sites cannot be carried out by Israel alone, and requires substantial American assistance to succeed

According to U.S. intelligence estimates, even with direct American support, a large-scale strike on Iran's nuclear facilities would likely only set its nuclear weapons program back by several weeks, or months at best.

U.S. intelligence has also assessed that a large-scale strike on Iran's nuclear program would likely result in Iran immediately starting the enrichment of uranium to weapons grade and going for a nuclear weapon. – New York Times / WP
