The White House and Iran may discuss the nuclear protocol this week, and the U.S. may intervene in the Iran conflict.

[Chain News] PANews reported on June 17 that, according to four sources, the White House is discussing the possibility of a meeting this week between U.S. Special Envoy Wittekov and Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif. The goal of this meeting is to discuss a diplomatic initiative involving the nuclear protocol and ending the war between Israel and Iran. A U.S. official confirmed: “A meeting with Iranian officials is being considered this week.” This meeting could be a pivotal turning point regarding whether the U.S. will join the war to eliminate Iran’s nuclear program by military means. A senior U.S. official stated that the White House views the giant bunker buster bomb (which the U.S. has and Israel does not) needed to destroy Iran’s Fordow underground enrichment facility as a key bargaining chip to compel Iran to reach an agreement. So far, Trump has refused to directly engage in Israel’s attacks on Iran, but he has made it clear that Iran must be prevented from acquiring nuclear weapons at all costs.
