Trump: US involvement in Iran-Israel conflict possible

In recent developments, tensions have escalated between Iran and Israel, with the potential of a major military action against Iran becoming more likely. While direct U.S. involvement in any strike against Iran is said to be unlikely, the situation remains fluid and complex.

U.S. and Israeli Stance

According to Axios, U.S. and Israeli sources have indicated that the Pentagon will not order U.S. military personnel to be alongside Israeli forces assisting a strike. However, U.S. forces may be helping with intelligence and would likely come to the defense of Israel if there is a counter-strike. President Donald Trump has stated that a strike against Iran's nuclear program "could very well happen" but prefers a deal to end the program of nuclear enrichment to build weapons [1].

State Department Warning

The State Department has issued a warning to Americans to stay clear of the region due to increased regional tensions. The department advised U.S. citizens to exercise increased caution and reminded those in Israel and the broader Middle East region to keep a low profile and monitor the news for breaking developments [2].

Israel's Military Action

Israel has begun carrying out strikes on Iran, with two U.S. officials confirming the operation but denying any U.S. assistance or involvement. The officials declined to provide further information [3].

Political Criticism

Tucker Carlson, a prominent host and pundit, has publicly criticized President Trump and other conservatives for their support of Israel's recent military strikes on Iran. Carlson accused Trump of being "complicit" in Israel's attack and suggested that direct U.S. involvement in a war with Iran would betray voters who supported Trump's "America First" platform [4].

U.S. Embassy Evacuation

The United States has told embassy staff in Iraq to evacuate amid fears Israel could be poised to strike Iran within days. Non-essential U.S. embassy staff in Baghdad are set to leave due to heightened security risks [5].
