Latest White House Update on Iran-Israel Tensions: US Warns Iran, Pursues Diplomacy

ByPasarextra

WASHINGTON — President Trump issued a stark warning to Iran overnight amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, posting on social media: “If we are attacked in any way, shape, or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the U.S. armed forces will come down on you at levels never seen before.”

However, the president also emphasized a potential diplomatic resolution, stating, “We can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel and end this bloody conflict.”

Key Developments:

  • US Denies Involvement in Israeli Strikes: White House officials confirmed the U.S. played no military role in Israel’s recent attacks but is actively aiding Israel’s defense, including shifting military assets to the region.
  • Trump Engages World Leaders Ahead of G7 Summit: The president departs for Canada today as global tensions rise. He recently spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who, according to Russian state media, offered to mediate between Iran and Israel.
  • Nuclear Deal Negotiations Stall: Trump’s special envoy was scheduled to meet Iranian officials in Oman for talks on a potential nuclear agreement, but Iran has since canceled the meeting.

Diplomatic Efforts Continue

For weeks, the Trump administration has pushed for a renewed nuclear deal with Iran, claiming both sides were “close to an agreement” before hostilities escalated. The abrupt cancellation of talks underscores the fragile state of negotiations.

As the world watches, the White House balances military deterrence with diplomatic outreach. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
