Trump Discusses Escalation in the Middle East
On June 12, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump expressed concern about a potential "large-scale conflict" in the Middle East, noting that an Israeli strike on Iran "could very well happen." Trump's remarks were prompted by heightened tensions following a decision by the International Atomic Energy Agency, which confirmed that Iran is not fulfilling its non-proliferation obligations.
Trump emphasized that he does not want Israel to strike while negotiations regarding the nuclear deal with Tehran are ongoing. "I want to have a deal with Iran. We are close to a deal... But I don’t want them to attack, as it could ruin everything," the president said.
Threat of Military Action from Israel
Three sources familiar with the situation reported that Israel is considering military action against Iran in the coming days. While the specific role of the U.S. in a potential strike is not yet clear, it is likely that the U.S. could provide Israel with logistical support and intelligence information.
The U.S. State Department issued a warning for Americans working or traveling in the Middle East, urging "increased caution." Trump also acknowledged that "something could happen soon" in the region.
Negotiations on the Nuclear Deal
Despite the potential escalation, the Trump administration continues to engage in diplomatic negotiations with Iran. A sixth round of talks is scheduled in Oman, although the rising tensions in the region threaten this process.
Trump previously stated that he warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against strikes on Iran, as "we are very close to a resolution." However, the situation is rapidly changing, and the president noted that "everything can change with one phone call."
