Trump said it would be "very hard" to ask Israel to end its Iran strikes as he pursues diplomacy

From CNN's Kevin Liptak
President Donald Trump said it would be difficult for him to request Israel stop its airstrikes in Iran, even as he pursues a diplomatic solution to end the conflict.

“I think it’s very hard to make that request right now if somebody is winning,” the president told reporters in New Jersey, where he will attend a fundraiser at his golf course.
“It’s a little bit harder to do than if somebody is losing. But we’re ready, willing and able. And we’ve been speaking to Iran and we’ll see what happens,” the president said.

Trump repeated a bit later that it would be a hard ask, given Israel’s military successes so far.

“It’s very hard to stop, when you look at it — Israel’s doing well in terms of war,” he said. “I think you would say that Iran is doing less well, it’s a little bit hard to get somebody to stop.”

Trump dismissed European efforts to engage diplomatically with Iran, saying they hadn’t helped efforts to end the conflict.

“They didn’t help,” he said. “Iran doesn’t want to speak to Europe. They want — they want to speak to us. Europe is not going to be able to help on this one.”

Trump says Gabbard is "wrong" on Iran nuclear intelligence

From CNN's Betsy Klein
President Donald Trump took direct aim at his director of national intelligence on Friday, saying Tulsi Gabbard “is wrong” about Iran’s efforts on obtaining a nuclear weapon.

The comment comes as Gabbard’s standing in the administration diminishes, according to sources who spoke with CNN this week.

Trump was asked Friday about his intelligence community’s assessment that Iran is not close to building a nuclear weapon.

“Well then, my intelligence community is wrong,” Trump told reporters in New Jersey, asking the reporter who in the intelligence community had said that. Told that it was Gabbard, Trump said, “She’s wrong.”

Gabbard testified to Congress in March that Iran was not actively pursuing a nuclear weapon — a direct contradiction of Israel’s claims that Iran was racing toward a bomb.

More background: Though Gabbard has been among the most visible voices for the president’s national security policy, she has struggled behind the scenes to carve out her own place in the Trump White House, CNN reported this week.

Recently, Trump has come to see her as “off message” when it comes to the conflict in the Middle East, according to one senior White House adviser.

CNN’s Katie Bo Lillis and Kristen Holmes contributed reporting to this post.

Trump signals he won’t pressure Israel to end its attacks​

Reporting from Washington, DC
He was asked whether or not he would as the European diplomats have really been imploring, for the US to put pressure on Israel to stop its aerial assault on Iran in order to give room for these talks.
He said that because Israel is winning and doing “very well” that it is hard to talk to the winning side – so really making a point that he’s not going to make an effort to ask Israel to ease up on its aerial bombing of Iranian targets.
It seems that Trump is very squarely on Israel’s side as things are progressing, and … it appears that he is not leaning towards the diplomacy route, though again he is giving himself that two-weeks time to make a final decision.

IAEA reports contamination at Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility​


The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has reported an acute danger from radiation and chemical substances at the Natanz nuclear facility in Iran, which has come under Israeli attacks.
While radiation levels outside the building complex are normal, “within the Natanz facility, that is both radiological and chemical contamination” and it is possible that uranium isotopes are scattered throughout the facility, IAEA chief Rafael Grossi told the UN Security Council in New York.
“The radiation primarily consists of alpha particles, [which pose] a significant danger if inhaled or digested. This risk can be effectively managed with appropriate protective measures,” Grossi explained.
The main concern inside the facility is chemical toxicity, he added.

"Diplomacy just for the sake of talks" will not work, Israel’s UN ambassador says

From CNN’s Hira Humayun
Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations struck a dismissive tone when asked about the possibility of a diplomatic breakthrough with Iran, saying “diplomacy just for the sake of talks” would no longer work.

Ambassador Danny Danon told CNN’s Boris Sanchez the Iranians have been “the masters of deception for so many years.”

He added that diplomacy would not work until Iran commits to “actually take out their capabilities, to neutralize them completely, to not enrich uranium.”

“But I’m not sure that they are there yet,” Danon said.

Danon, who has described the Iranian attack that hit Israel’s Soroka hospital as a war crime, was asked about his response to those who argue Israel has committed war crimes by striking hospitals in Gaza.

“You cannot make that equation because, you know, we chased terrorists and we allow people to evacuate those places,” he said. The ambassador said Israel gives civilians advance notice, including in Iran, and that the military tries to “minimize civilian casualties.”
