President Trump is publicly supporting Israel’s airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites. He’s “weighing the possibility of US military involvement” alongside Israel, marking a sharp escalation.
Trump stated the U.S. “knows exactly where the so‑called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding…He is an easy target, but…at least not for now.” He also demanded Iran’s “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” Additional U.S. military assets have been deployed to the region as options are evaluated.
No final decision has been made. Multiple options remain under consideration, with Trump saying joining the conflict is just one of them. High-level meetings in the Situation Room lasted over an hour, involving top advisors.
Israel’s strikes have killed hundreds in Iran (over 220–450), while Iran’s missile and drone attacks have killed around 24 in Israel. Underground enrichment facilities like Fordow are key targets.
Analysts warn that a U.S. intervention could trigger Iranian retaliation against American forces, allies, or strategic assets such as the Strait of Hormuz. Some global leaders continue to caution against further escalation.
