Однако, отметили источники, усилия Ирана по восстановлению объектов, где производятся баллистические ракеты, и по ремонту поврежденных систем ПВО, израильская сторона считает более насущной угрозой. Израильские чиновники готовятся представить свои аргументы на предстоящей встрече с Трампом.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans to discuss the possibility of new strikes on Iran with US President Donald Trump, NBC News reports, citing sources.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the sources, the Israeli prime minister plans to share with the American leader his concern over Tehran’s missile program that may require swift actions in response. The Israeli authorities are concerned that Iran’s ballistic missile program continues to expand despite recent strikes, alongside the ongoing deployment of air defense systems. Netanyahu is expected to speak with Trump about options for the United States’ potential participation in new operations or Washington’s potential support for them. The two are expected to meet in Florida on December 29.
Trump said earlier that he did not rule out new strikes on Iran if Tehran rejected a deal with Washington and continued developing its missile program. He also warned Iran against trying to continue developing its nuclear program.
