Trump dodges question on U.S. strike against Iran

Deskripsi:

President Donald Trump declined to confirm whether the United States is preparing to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities, telling reporters in Washington on Wednesday (June 18) that “nobody knows what I’m going to do.” He claimed Iran was “totally defenseless” and mocked its military capabilities, saying the country “has no air defense whatsoever.” The comments come as U.S. officials deny any direct involvement in Israeli strikes, despite speculation following remarks by Senator Ted Cruz suggesting U.S. intelligence may be aiding the campaign. Iran, meanwhile, has continued retaliatory attacks and called for a ceasefire, signalling possible willingness to reengage in nuclear negotiations if the assault ends. Trump offered no detail on Iran’s reported request to hold talks at the White House.
