The Iranian regime is reportedly seeking a direct meeting with President Donald J. Trump — a dramatic shift from its usual bluster — as Israeli strikes continue hammering military and nuclear targets across the Islamic Republic.

President Trump confirmed Wednesday that Iran has requested to send a delegation to the White House, even as he maintains a firm stance against any rushed diplomacy.

“They want to meet, but it’s, you know, it’s a little late to meet. But they want to meet and they want to come to the White House. They’ll even come to the White House. So we’ll see,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.

At the center of the escalating tension is the Fordow Nuclear Enrichment Center — a heavily fortified Iranian facility buried deep inside a mountain. Israel, lacking the bunker-busting firepower to take it out, is urging the United States to finish the job.

“The entire operation… really has to be completed with the elimination of Fordow,” Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Yechiel Leiter told Fox News on Friday.

When asked if dismantling Fordow is a “red line” for any future agreement with Tehran, Trump made clear that while America has the unmatched military capability, he’s not showing his hand.

“We’re the only ones that have the capability to do it, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to do it at all,” he said. “We have the best military equipment in the world. You see that with this fight. We have planes that are undetectable… stealth.”

“So we’ll see what happens… I haven’t made a decision.”

This follows a wave of speculation — fueled by a report from Axios — that Trump was allegedly seeking to de-escalate through peace talks. The president blasted that claim as fake news in a forceful Truth Social post.

“I have not reached out to Iran for ‘Peace Talks’ in any way, shape, or form. This is just more HIGHLY FABRICATED, FAKE NEWS!”

“If they want to talk, they know how to reach me. They should have taken the deal that was on the table – Would have saved a lot of lives!!!”

That deal, Trump reiterated Thursday, was on the table for 60 days. Tehran rejected it — and now regrets it.

Meanwhile, troubling reports have emerged of suspicious cargo flights from China entering airspace near Iran before disappearing from radar. According to The Telegraph, at least three Boeing 747 freighters — commonly used to transport military equipment — departed Chinese cities Saturday through Monday, each vanishing over the region after flying along a strategic corridor through Central Asia.

Though the flight logs listed Luxembourg as their destination, the planes never appeared to be headed for Europe.

Andrea Ghiselli, a Middle East expert at the University of Exeter, noted, “These cargos cannot but generate a lot of interest because of the expectation that China might do something to help Iran.”

Cargolux, the Luxembourg-based airline operating the aircraft, claimed the flights never entered Iranian airspace but refused to disclose details about the cargo.

China has long supported the Iranian regime through arms shipments and materials useful in nuclear weapons development. And with Tehran now under sustained pressure from Israel — and facing an unyielding White House under President Trump — Beijing’s quiet moves near the conflict zone have raised serious national security red flags.

At this critical juncture, Trump holds the cards — and both Iran and its allies know it.
