Donald Trump is considering a US attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, sources tell Axios. Three US sources say the US president will meet with his advisers tonight to discuss what line the US should take in the conflict between Iran and Israel.
Two Israeli sources tell Axios journalist Barak Ravid that the Israeli government believes the US will join the war “in the coming days”.
So far, the US has helped Israel defend itself against Iranian missiles, but has not participated in any offensive battles in the conflict. During the evening, the president wrote on Truth Social that Iran must not attack civilians or US soldiers.
“Our patience is running out”, the statement says.
Trump returned early from the G7 meeting in Canada and has said during the day that he is not interested in a ceasefire but a “real end” to the war and Iran’s nuclear energy program.
