There’s a complex tapestry of international relations going on right now. As Israel faces mounting criticism over the war in Gaza, it has opened another front — attempting to stop Iran from building a nuclear weapon. The question remains whether the U.S. will join them. While President Trump has previously alluded that he’ll need two weeks to think about it, he at least believes Israel’s assertion that Iran is indeed building a nuclear weapon.
The only issue now is whether Trump’s own intelligence community believes so too. The answer is more complex than a simple yes or no. When Trump stood for an interview with Fox News, the president was adamant that if his intelligence community believes Iran is not building a nuclear weapon, then the simple reason for that is that his intelligence community is wrong.
