President Donald Trump suggested he might back a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, which have been engaging in an aerial conflict for a week. His support hinges on the evolving circumstances surrounding the negotiations.

Trump dismissed Europe's potential involvement, emphasizing that Iran prefers dialogue with the U.S. rather than European nations. This sentiment was underscored by a meeting in Geneva where Iran and European ministers sought diplomatic solutions to Iran's nuclear ambitions, though the talks yielded scant results.

The situation remains tense as the conflict stirs fear across the region. While Trump deliberates U.S. involvement, the stakes are high, given Israel's nuclear capabilities and Iran's non-proliferation stance.
