La Derecha Diario D-Day: Trump considers destroying Iran or giving more days to negotiations
The President of the United States faces the difficult decision of joining Israel's war against Iran or seeking a diplomatic solution
According to The New York Times, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, is considering a critical decision amid the armed conflict between Israel and Iran, which has been ongoing for four days: the possibility of military intervention to help Israel destroy Iran's underground Fordo nuclear facility.
This uranium enrichment plant, deeply buried in a mountain, could only be reached with American deep-penetration bombs ("bunker busters") dropped from B-2 bombers, which would require the direct involvement of U.S. military aviation.
Fordo is one of Iran's most protected nuclear facilities and represents a key component of its uranium enrichment capability. The decision to attack this site would mark a turning point in the conflict, since it would involve direct U.S. military action inside Iranian territory, with potentially unpredictable consequences for the region and for global security.
Simultaneously, Trump has authorized his Vice President, JD Vance, and the special envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, to explore a possible diplomatic path. Both officials have been instructed to offer Iran a meeting this week, hoping to open a negotiation channel.
Sources close to the White House believe that Tehran could accept this offer, and in that case would send its Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, as a representative.
This dual approach considers a high-impact military strike while offering a diplomatic path, reflecting both the internal pressure on Trump to contain the Iranian nuclear threat and the need to avoid a full-scale escalation that could destabilize the entire region.
Trump has reiterated on several occasions that "Iran can't have a nuclear weapon" and has expressed frustration over the Iranian refusal to sign an agreement under the terms proposed by the United States.
The possibility of a meeting between senior U.S. and Iranian officials amid the conflict represents a ray of diplomatic hope, although it comes at a moment of maximum tension.
If it materializes, it would be the highest-level contact between the two countries since Israeli attacks on Iranian military and nuclear facilities began last week.
In this context, President Trump faces a decisive dilemma: escalate military intervention to weaken Iran's nuclear capabilities or opt for diplomacy in search of de-escalation. Either route will have deep geopolitical implications for the Middle East and for U.S. foreign policy.
