Meanwhile, as Israel continues targeting military and nuclear sites within Iran, it has urged the U.S. to strike the Fordow Nuclear Enrichment Center. Lacking the bunker-buster bombs necessary to destroy the facility, which is deeply embedded inside a mountain, Israel has sought assistance from the United States.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe entire operation\u2026 really has to be completed with the elimination of Fordow,\u201d Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Yechiel Leiter told Fox News on Friday.<\/p>\n
The destruction or the dismantling of the Fordow nuclear enrichment center \u2013 is that a prerequisite for a deal? Is that a red line for you?\u201d a reporter asked the president in the Oval Office.<\/p>\n
No, it\u2019s just something that people talk about having. We\u2019re the only ones that have the capability to do it, but that doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m going to do it at all,\u201d the president responded. \u201cYeah, we have the best military equipment in the world. You see that with this fight. We have planes that are undetectable, flying around like, you know, nobody\u2019s able to see him [in] stealth.\u201d<\/p>\n
After continuing to praise U.S. military prowess, Trump added<\/a>: \u201cSo we\u2019ll see what happens. I have not, I have not, I\u2019ve been asked about it by everybody, but I haven\u2019t made a decision.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cLook, they should have made the deal. I had a great deal for them. They should have made that deal.<\/span>\u00a060 days, we talked about it, and in the end, they decided not to do it, and now they wish they did it,\u201d Trump told reporters<\/span><\/p>\n
