President Trump has declined Israel’s plan to bomb Iran, according to The New York Times.
Israel has been planning an attack on Iran for months and trying to coax the U.S. into going along with it but the New York Times reports match Redacted’s own intel. There is an alleged divide amongst the Trump administration between those who want a war with Iran and those that don’t. Those that don’t, according to the Times include President Trump himself as well as Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff; Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth; Tulsi Gabbard, director of national intelligence; and Vice President JD Vance.
“The debate highlighted fault lines between historically hawkish American cabinet officials and other aides more skeptical that a military assault on Iran could destroy the country’s nuclear ambitions and avoid a larger war. It resulted in a rough consensus, for now, against military action, with Iran signaling a willingness to negotiate.”
The Times reports that Israel was all but convinced that the U.S. would “sign off” on its plans to attack Iran “making the United States a central part of the attack itself” but President Trump insists on diplomacy over war for now.
The second round of talks are scheduled for this upcoming weekend and we should all pray that they result in peace.
The U.S. has also reportedly notified Israel that it plans to withdraw some troops from Syria where the U.S. is currently illegally occupying territory.
