Trump's High-Stakes Decision on U.S. Role in Israel-Iran Conflict
President Trump is set to decide on U.S. involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict within two weeks. While seeking a diplomatic resolution, his main focus is on preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Meanwhile, Israel and Iran's tensions have escalated, with no clear resolution in sight.
President Donald Trump announced that he will reach a decision on the United States' involvement in the escalating Israel-Iran conflict within the next two weeks. According to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Trump is open to diplomatic avenues, yet prioritizes preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
In a briefing, Leavitt underscored Trump's commitment to diplomacy, deeming him a 'peacemaker in chief.' However, she noted that Trump is prepared to exhibit strength if necessary. The administration remains skeptical about Iran's intentions, believing the nation is close to acquiring nuclear capabilities.
The conflict escalated on Thursday with Israel conducting airstrikes on Iranian targets and Iran retaliating with missiles and drones. As Trump considers U.S. involvement, the international community watches closely, speculating on potential diplomatic negotiations or military actions.
