Trump Administration Has No Plans to Join Iran War Amid Israeli Strikes

President Donald Trump's administration has made clear that the United States will not directly join Israel's military strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities, despite providing a 'clear U.S. greenlight' for Israeli operations. Israel has pressed for U.S. assistance, particularly with bunker-buster bombs necessary to destroy the Fordo uranium-enrichment facility, which is critical to Iran's nuclear pathway. While Trump has repeatedly urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to delay attacks in favor of diplomacy, he acknowledged knowledge of the strikes and expressed hope for a peaceful resolution, emphasizing that Iran can still negotiate an accord. U.S. officials stress the importance of a peaceful solution to Iran's nuclear ambitions but recognize that ongoing Israeli attacks may be unavoidable. The conflict underscores the tension between military action and diplomatic efforts, with Trump maintaining his stance against U.S. direct involvement in war while supporting Israel's security concerns. Experts agree that if the Fordo facility remains intact, Iran retains the capability to continue advancing its nuclear program, making its destruction a strategic objective for Israel.
