In recent days, Israel and Iran have exchanged waves of missiles and drone attacks, raising fears of a broader regional conflict. Earlier in the week, Trump had declined to confirm whether the U.S. would intervene militarily, telling The New York Times, “I may do it. I may not do it. Nobody knows what I’m going to do.”
The reported U.S. strike marks a significant escalation in the conflict and could have far-reaching geopolitical consequences.
