Iran should not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. That is the clear message from Donald Trump ahead of this weekend's big meeting between the countries.
Should the talks fail, the president has not ruled out military options, and now American bombers are being moved to the region.
A total of six B-2 bombers have been moved to the military base of Diego Garcia in the middle of the Indian Ocean. A move that Middle East expert Alexander Atarodi sees as a clear signal to Iran.
And the US tactical fighters based? And the aircraft carriers? Some tactical aircrafts used to be based at a huge Jordanian air base!
Also a new wave of air strikes on Iran — in broad daylight. Israel seems largely unfazed by air defenses, which were reportedly sabotaged in advance by Mossad.
