Trump reportedly expressed concern before the Israel-Iran war

On the night of June 13, an event that caught the world's attention occurred: Israeli warplanes launched an attack on Iran. This was reported by CNN and other international media. Interestingly, US President Donald Trump had expressed his hope to avoid such a scenario just hours before the attack.

"I don't want this to happen. It would completely change the stability of the region," Trump said, expressing his hope to limit Iran's nuclear program through diplomatic means.

Although the Israeli attack was carried out without direct US participation, the Iranian government also exposed Washington's "hand" in it. Therefore, the situation could seriously affect not only the Middle East, but also the global political balance.

Trump, meanwhile, is caught in the middle of sharp foreign policy conflicts within his own party. A number of Republicans, including Senator Lindsey Graham, supported the attack and declared on social media that "the game is on."

Trump, in contrast to the foreign policy of his previous administration, once again emphasized the cautious position of the American military in the involvement of international conflicts.

It is noted that the Israeli attack on Iran was not unexpected for the US military. The presidential administration had previously decided to evacuate some personnel in order to ensure the safety of its citizens and military personnel in the Middle East.

On June 12, Trump was informed of the attack plan by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and repeatedly tried to dissuade him from this action. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also briefly stated that the United States did not participate in these strikes:

"We did not participate in the unilateral strikes against Iran. Our main goal is to protect American forces in the Middle East. Israel considered this strike to be the only way to defend itself," Rubio said.

Currently, there are reports that Iran is preparing retaliatory actions. There is a high probability that this conflict will escalate to a new stage. The US is closely monitoring the situation to maintain diplomatic and military balance.
