Trump Signals Possible US Involvement in Israel-Iran Conflict

President Donald Trump has indicated that the United States could potentially become involved in the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. In an interview with a news outlet on Sunday, Trump stated, “It’s possible we could get involved,” while also clarifying that the US is currently not directly involved in the conflict.

The US has strategically positioned military assets, including jet fighters, ships, and ground-based air-defense systems, near the regions of the conflict to safeguard American interests and personnel from potential Iranian attacks. Although the US has not openly assisted Israel in its military operations, it has provided support to help Israel defend itself.

In a separate statement on his social media platform, Trump expressed optimism about the situation, stating, “we will have PEACE, soon, between Israel and Iran!” This message suggests a diplomatic effort to resolve the conflict, although the specifics of any potential peace agreement were not disclosed.

Trump also mentioned a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, indicating that he would be open to Putin's involvement in mediating the conflict. Trump noted that Putin had called him about the situation and that they had a lengthy discussion on the matter. This development is significant given Russia's strategic alliance with Iran, as the two nations have collaborated against US interests in conflicts in Syria and Iraq.
