Friday, June 13, 2025 - US President, Donald Trump has suggested that Israel may be preparing to launch a military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, signaling rising tensions in the Middle East and the potential for a significant escalation.
During a press briefing at the White House, Trump responded
to questions about possible Israeli action against Iran by saying, “I don’t
want to say it’s imminent, but it looks like something that could very well
happen.”
He emphasized that diplomatic efforts are still underway and
that military conflict could be avoided if Iran agrees to make further
concessions in ongoing negotiations with the United States. The comments came
amid reports that Israel is considering preemptive measures to prevent Iran
from developing a nuclear weapon.
“Look, it’s very simple. Iran cannot
have a nuclear weapon,” Trump said. “Other than that, I want them to be
successful. I want them to be tremendous. We’ll help them succeed, we’ll trade
with them, we’ll do whatever is necessary.”
Despite his tough stance, Trump reiterated a preference for
diplomacy. He pointed to the active efforts of his Middle East envoy, Steve
Witkoff, who is working to broker an agreement that could avert conflict.
“I’d much prefer an agreement,”
Trump said. “If I think there’s a chance at a deal, I don’t want [Israel] going
in — because I think it could ruin it. It might even help it, but it could also
blow it.”
