On Sunday, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the United States was not involved in Israel’s assault on Iran. However, he cautioned that any aggression towards the U.S. would be countered with the “full strength and might” of the American military.
“The U.S. had nothing to do with the attack on Iran, tonight,” Trump wrote on Truth Social in the early morning hours of Sunday.
“If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before,” he continued. “However, we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!!!”

“We have solid proof of the support of the American forces and American bases in the region for the attacks of the Zionist regime military forces,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told foreign diplomats in a meeting broadcast on state TV.
The attacks traded by Israel and Iran represented the latest violence since a surprise offensive by Israel two days earlier seeking to decimate Tehran’s nuclear program.
At least 10 Israeli victims were killed and at least 180 were injured in Iranian missile strikes overnight, while casualty figures were not immediately available in Iran, where Israel targeted Tehran’s Defense Ministry headquarters as well as locations it alleged were associated with the country’s nuclear program.
The Israeli military alleged the locations were “related to the Iranian regime’s nuclear weapons project.”
U.S. intelligence agencies and the International Atomic Energy Agency have repeatedly said Iran was not pursuing a nuclear weapon before Israel unleashed its offensive targeting Iran starting on Friday.

Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard claimed that Iranian missiles targeted fuel production facilities for Israeli fighter jets, although this has not been acknowledged by Israel.
Planned negotiations between Iran and the U.S. over Tehran’s nuclear program were canceled amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, raising questions about when and how an end to the fighting could come.
