U.S. may need strategic weapons to halt Iran’s nuclear program — Temple University lecturer

Temple University (U.S.) lecturer Olena Mishchuk said this on Espreso TV.

"Negotiations between the Trump administration and Iran have been ongoing since May. There have already been several rounds of negotiations. Most likely, Israel started this war without the consent of the White House. But now Trump is moving into the category of Arestovich. He says that in two weeks we will tell you what our next steps are.

At the moment, it seems that without direct US intervention in this war with the use of strategic bombers and strategic weapons, it will most likely be impossible to destroy these Iranian nuclear stockpiles," Mishchuk said.

The Temple University professor added that no one in the United States wants to go to war with Iran.

"When the new White House administration came to power, it got rid of all those it considered disloyal to Trump. And now there are not enough experts who have experience in conflicts of this magnitude, but only people who say “yes” unconditionally. Therefore, we can only hope that the attempts of the Senate and Congress to somehow stop Trump will be successful," Mishchuk said.

• On June 18, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned that possible U.S. military intervention in the conflict with Israel would have serious and irreparable consequences. That same day, during a conversation with journalists, Donald Trump avoided giving a direct answer when asked about a potential U.S. strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
• The co-founder of the "Israeli Friends of Ukraine" organization, Vyacheslav Feldman, noted that Israel does not have the technical capabilities to destroy Iran’s deeply buried nuclear facility Fordow.
