Trump Wanted To Attack Iran’s Nuclear Bases
Trump wanted to attack Iran’s nuclear bases, but then pulled back. US President Donald Trump wanted to attack Iran’s nuclear bases a week ago.
They also considered alternatives to destroy these targets. The advisors at the meeting advised not to take this step, after which they withdrew their steps.
According to reports, Trump called a meeting in the Oval Office a week ago.
With National Security Advisers as well as Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and Acting Defense Minister Christopher Miller and other officials.
The attack was discussed at the meeting on Wednesday following a report by the International Atomic Agency that Iran was steadily increasing its uranium reserves.
These reserves are a violation of the agreement made in 2015. All circumstances were considered in the meeting and the decision later stayed in anticipation of the escalating controversy.
12 times more storage than agreement
The IAEA report even stated that Iran has 12 times more storage than what was allowed under the JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Action Plan).
Even after this, Trump’s experts advised the President not to attack. They said that this can make the situation worse.
The White House has refused to comment on this latest report. At the same time, nothing has been said from the team of newly elected President Joe Biden.
At the same time, Iran has been told in the UN that its nuclear program is completely peaceful and is being run for the purpose of humanity.
Tension after the assassination of the Iranian general
In January, Trump had ordered a drone strike. In which Major General Qasim Sulemani of Iran was killed at Baghdad Airport.
It is believed that if the advice of Trump, who left office after two months, was attacked, this decision would have been a problem for the incoming President Joe Biden.
In this case, Iran’s United Nations spokesman Alireza Mirusefi has said that any attack on the US will be given a befitting reply.
He said that Iran’s nuclear program is for peaceful purposes and public interest. We have not violated any agreement.
Trump’s opinion on nuclear deal
Significantly, the tensions and disputes between the US and Iran had steadily increased since Donald Trump became president.
President Trump first canceled the Iran-American nuclear deal made in the previous government and then later talked about a new deal again.
He said that the US did not get any benefit from the nuclear deal with Iran in the Obama administration, rather it has done the opposite. After this, Iran also pulled itself out of the deal.
Apart from Iran-US, the deal was signed by many European countries.
