US: US President Donald Trump said that US and Iranian officials could hold talks next week. He claimed that US attacks have destroyed Iran’s nuclear program. However, Trump criticized the intelligence agencies and the media after some reports said that these attacks caused minor damage. Trump also said that he prevented a possible nuclear war between India and Pakistan through talks.
US President Donald Trump said Wednesday that US and Iranian officials could hold talks next week. This possible conversation could restart the dialogue, which was disrupted due to the 12-day Israel-Iran conflict that began on June 13. This announcement was made at a time when the ceasefire between Iran and Israel seems to be holding for the time being. However, a few hours after Trump announced the truce, both countries attacked each other. Four people were killed in the Israeli city of Beersheba in an attack carried out by Iran.
Earlier, Trump said that the US attacks on Iran have dealt a big blow to its nuclear program. On the other hand, an initial intelligence report said that these attacks caused only minor damage to Iran, and its nuclear program was halted for a few months. Trump said this was a devastating attack, which shook him. The Trump administration put forward its top officials to prove that Iran’s nuclear program has been destroyed.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth described the intelligence report as ‘preliminary’ and ‘low-confidence’. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called those who leaked the report ‘professional backstabbers.’ The White House cited a statement by the Israeli Atomic Energy Commission, which said that Iran’s nuclear program goes back several years.
