According to the New York Times, President Trump is facing a pivotal decision in the ongoing four-day conflict between Israel and Iran: whether to involve the United States directly by assisting Israel in targeting Iran’s heavily fortified Fordow nuclear enrichment site. The facility is buried deep underground and can only be effectively struck using American B-2 bombers equipped with bunker-busting munitions.

In parallel, Trump has instructed Vice President JD Vance and his Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, to extend an offer for talks with Iran later this week. U.S. officials believe the proposal could be met with interest. Should negotiations move forward, Iran is expected to send Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to meet with Vance and Witkoff.
