U.S. President Donald Trump publicly distanced Washington from Israel's recent attacks on Iranian nuclear and intelligence facilities, declaring via social media that the U.S. had "nothing to do" with the operation. The statement came amid escalating regional tensions, with Trump warning Iran that any retaliation against American interests would trigger an unprecedented military response.
"The full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before," Trump wrote, while simultaneously positioning himself as a potential mediator. He added that a diplomatic resolution between Iran and Israel could "easily" be achieved to end the conflict.
The remarks highlight the delicate balance in U.S. foreign policy as tensions flare in the Middle East. Analysts suggest the public denial aims to avoid direct entanglement while maintaining strategic alliances. The situation remains fluid, with global markets closely monitoring energy security risks and geopolitical stability.
