Iran and Israel launch more attacks as Trump weighs US involvement
The Island
|June 21, 2025
US President Donald Trump approved plans for the US to strike at Iran but is still weighing a final decision, according to US media, including the BBC’s US media partner CBS News.
-
At issue is the Fordo enrichment site, an underground facility vital to Iran’s nuclear programme. Only the US has the capability to potentially destroy it.
Publicly, Trump remained equivocal about what he plans to do. “I may do it, I may not do it. Nobody knows what I want to do,” Trump has told journalists. “But I can say this: Iran’s got a lot of trouble and wants to negotiate.”
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is planning to attend talks in Geneva with his UK, German and French counterparts on Friday.
Meanwhile, Israel is continuing another night of attacks in Iran, conducting a series of strikes in Tehran while warning residents in Arak and Khandab to evacuate.
As speculation mounts that the US could join Israeli strikes on Iran, Washington has been redirecting military assets to the Middle East.
