Trump Weighs U.S. Response as Iran-Israel Conflict Grows

President Donald Trump has kept the international community uncertain about whether the U.S. will join Israel in military action against Iran, maintaining that 'nobody knows' his final decision while reiterating his opposition to Iran acquiring nuclear weapons. Trump has consulted with national security advisers and offered Israel various support options but insists any U.S. military decision would be made at the last moment. The conflict has already resulted in significant casualties, with hundreds reported dead in Iran and dozens in Israel as both countries exchange missile strikes and attack strategic sites. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has rejected U.S. ultimatums and warned of 'irreparable damage' if the U.S. intervenes, though some Iranian officials show willingness to negotiate if Israeli strikes stop. Russia has warned the U.S. against joining the conflict, citing risks of wider regional escalation. The crisis remains highly volatile, influenced by Trump's unpredictability and internal debates within Iran between hardliners and proponents of negotiation.
