If Mr Trump is not serious about diplomacy, his second choice is whether America should join the war. Satellite imagery suggests that Israel has destroyed the so-called “pilot-fuel enrichment plant” at Natanz, an above-ground facility where Iran enriched uranium to 60%, a small step below weapons-grade.

President Trump has called on Iran and Israel "to make a deal" that ends the war between the two countries. Why it matters: The Trump administration has so far distanced itself from Israel's operation and argued that it would be illegitimate for Iran to retaliate by striking U.

Discussing the conflict between Israel and Iran, the former vice president said Trump "ought to be looking elsewhere than Vladimir Putin for advice."
