WASHINGTON — President Trump has been thrust into the center of the Israel-Iran conflict and each side is pressing him to step in and solve the bloody battle over Tehran’s nuclear ambitions — with opposite demands.
On one side, Iran is begging to return to the negotiating table with the US and stop Israel’s devastating bombardment of the country’s nuclear infrastructure and military forces.
On the other side, Israeli officials are reportedly pleading with Trump to help them finish the job of knocking out Iran’s nuclear program once and for all by providing bunker buster bombs and aircraft necessary to take out the Fordow uranium enrichment facility hidden inside an Iranian mountain, Axios reported.

🚨 @netanyahu to the people of Iran:
“I believe in you, I respect you, I admire you, I know your achievements, I know your potential, and I know that Iran can be great again. This regime that has kidnapped your country will not stand for long. You are the future, not them.” pic.twitter.com/467AZKfMHi

If you don't trust President Trump's foreign policy by now you're quite simply foolish… I've never seen a bigger advocate for peace yet strength than @POTUS… I trust our President would only get our brave and heroic military in a war if absolutely needed for our nations… https://t.co/7QiSbYmSwX
