In the Iranian capital of Tehran, a burnt Red Crescent ambulance was put on display in a prominent city square. It was hit by an earlier Israeli attack that killed three paramedics.
And, today, thousands took to the streets of Tehran and other cities after Friday prayers protesting Israel’s attacks. Iranian state media showed smoke billowing near Iran’s Arak nuclear facility. Israel has also launched attacks on Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities in Natanz and Isfahan, but needs U.S. bunker-buster bombs to target Fordow, Iran’s enrichment facility that’s buried deep within a mountain.
President Trump said he will decide whether to push the U.S. into the conflict within the next two weeks. Today, speaking to reporters, he noted Israel lacks the military capacity to destroy Fordow on its own.
Donald Trump, President of the United States: They really have a very limited capacity. They could break through a little section, but they can’t go down very deep. They don’t have that capacity. And we will have to see what happens. Maybe it won’t be necessary.
