Trump meets national security team amid Israel-Iran tensions
US president says ‘only time will tell’ on Iran strike as US deploys bombers to Pacific base
By Beril Canakci
ISTANBUL (AA) - President Donald Trump returned to the White House on Saturday to meet his national security team amid reports of possible US involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict, according to media reports.
Trump shared a Fox News report in a post on Truth Social that referenced his earlier remark that he may decide “within two weeks” if the US should support Israeli strikes targeting Iran’s nuclear program.
“Only time will tell!” he wrote.
Fox News reported earlier that the US has moved six B-2 stealth bombers toward Guam, a Micronesian island in the Western Pacific.
“The bombers apparently refueled after launching from Missouri, suggesting they launched without full fuel tanks due to a heavy onboard payload, which could be bunker-buster bombs,” it said.
"Destroying (Fordo) from the air is a job only the U.S. can do." Fox News Digital quoted Foundation for Defense of Democracies CEO Mark Dubowitz.
The Fordo nuclear facility is an underground uranium enrichment site near Qom -- Iran’s deepest and most fortified nuclear installation designed to withstand conventional airstrikes.
Reports claim such the movement of the B-2 bombers indicates that the Trump administration is positioning assets in case they are needed for a strike.
