In a clear message to its allies in the Middle East, the United States has informed several regional partners that it will not join the war between Israel and Iran unless American forces or interests are directly attacked, according to two officials who received the briefing.
🔻 Key Developments:
• The message was relayed on Sunday, stating that President Trump’s red line remains unbroken — as long as Iran does not target Americans, the U.S. will not intervene militarily.
• The White House urged allies to pass this warning to Tehran, in hopes of deterring any Iranian escalation toward U.S. troops or facilities.
• Although the U.S. has supported Israel in intercepting Iranian missile attacks, it maintains that Israel is acting independently in its direct strikes on Iran.
🔻 Behind the Scenes:
• Sources revealed that Israel had an operational opportunity to target Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei, but Trump opposed the action, stressing it could only be justified if Americans were harmed.
• Trump reiterated this stance at the G7 summit, stating: “Iran isn’t winning this war. They need to start talking before it’s too late.”
🔻 Military Movements:
• The USS Nimitz carrier strike group is heading to the region.
• The U.S. Air Force dispatched 28 strategic aerial refueling planes, suggesting preparation for a possible escalation — despite official non-intervention claims.
🔻 Israel’s Position:
• Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed near-daily talks with Trump.
• Netanyahu stated that while grateful for U.S. assistance in defense, Israel will continue its mission alone if necessary, emphasizing its goal: the elimination of Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
🔻 Ceasefire Discussions:
• Arab diplomats say Iran has expressed conditional interest in ceasefire talks — but only after completing its retaliatory actions.
• Israel, however, has shown no interest in a ceasefire until its objectives are met.
