There has been a big disclosure about Israel. Benjamin Netanyahu's country was about to attack Iran in the month of May. He was going to do it together with America. Israel's attack was to be on Iran's nuclear plant. But US President Trump stopped the Israeli Prime Minister from attacking at the last moment. 

Israeli PM went to the US to get the green signal to attack Iran

On April 8, at the White House, Trump asked Netanyahu to give Iran a chance. On the pretext of negotiating tariffs, the Israeli PM went to the US to get the green signal to attack Iran. Trump had offered Netanyahu to negotiate with the US with Iran. Netanyahu agreed to Trump's words and put the condition of a deal with Iran in Libya-style. This has been revealed 48 hours before the talks between Iran and the US on Saturday.

We will meet in Rome

Trump's special envoy, Steve Whitkoff, will meet with Iranian officials on Saturday. Trump spoke with Oman's Sultan Haitham bin Tariq about Oman's mediating role between Washington and Tehran. Trump met with his top national security aides on Tuesday to discuss Iran's nuclear program, ahead of a meeting between U.S. and Iranian officials on Saturday.

Trump has threatened 

Iran confirmed on Wednesday that the second round of Iran-US nuclear talks will be held in Rome. Earlier, there was confusion over where the talks would take place. The talks will be mediated by Oman. The first round of talks have been held in Oman's capital Muscat. US President Donald Trump has repeatedly warned that he will carry out airstrikes targeting Iran's nuclear programme if a deal is not reached. Iranian officials have repeatedly warned that they may try to enrich their uranium stockpiles to build nuclear weapons.

America's Action

Meanwhile, the US has imposed sanctions on a Chinese refinery for buying more than US dollar 1 billion worth of oil from Iran. The US Treasury Department said that this money provides financial assistance to the Iranian government and Iran-backed terrorist groups. The refinery, which is under the administration of President Donald Trump, has received dozens of shipments of crude oil from Iran worth more than dollar 1 billion. Some of the shipments were from a company linked to Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, according to U.S. officials. The sanctions list includes the names of several companies and vessels.
