- The situation has caused a rift among Republicans, decreasing support for Israel among Americans.
- The U.S. President plans diplomatic steps to continue negotiations with Iranian leadership.
This was reported by Associated Press, CNN, and NBC News.
Trump's Call to Iran
June 13, 2025, Washington - U.S. President Donald Trump has urgently called on Iran to reach a deal regarding the limitation of its nuclear program as Israel continues its strikes on Iranian facilities.
Trump described the current situation in the Middle East as a "second chance" for Iranian leaders to avoid further devastation, warning that it could lead to catastrophe.
Israel's Attacks and U.S. Response
On Friday, Israel launched significant strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, including the main uranium enrichment facility in Natanz. Trump noted that the U.S. did not participate in these attacks but emphasized that Israel used weapons provided by the U.S.
As a result of the attacks, the U.S. is reviewing its military resources in the region to prevent potential retaliatory strikes from Iran. One of the American destroyers, USS Thomas Hudner, is heading to the Mediterranean Sea.
Domestic Politics and Support for Israel
The situation is causing a split among Trump's supporters, as some oppose U.S. involvement in new military conflicts. Polls show that support for Israel among Americans is declining, even among Republicans.
According to recent data, only 64% of Republicans support Israel, compared to 86% in October 2023. This indicates growing skepticism towards traditional support for Israel.
Diplomatic Prospects
Trump hopes that Israel's attacks may prompt Iran to reach a new deal that limits its nuclear program. He plans to send his special envoy to Oman to continue negotiations with the Iranian foreign minister. However, uncertainty regarding Iran's participation in the negotiations remains.
Meanwhile, Trump is trying to strike a balance between supporting Israel and avoiding new U.S. military engagements, seeking to secure the backing of his base.
