US President Donald Trump signaled potential US military involvement in "Israel's" assault on Iran in the future, which was carried out with Washington's covert approval.

US President Donald Trump indicated on Sunday that the United States may become militarily involved in the ongoing Israeli assault against Iran, a conflict that has already resulted in the deaths of civilians, nuclear scientists, and senior Iranian commanders.

In a previously undisclosed interview with ABC News correspondent Rachel Scott, Trump stated, "It's possible we could get involved" in the conflict, while simultaneously claiming that the US is "not at this moment" engaged. This thin veil of neutrality contrasts sharply with revelations from Axios that "Israel's" attack was conducted with an unambiguous green light from Washington. "We had a clear US green light," one Israeli official admitted, exposing the coordinated nature of the aggression.

The Israeli air strikes on Tehran have deliberately struck civilian neighborhoods and nuclear facilities, an act described by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi as a "flagrant violation of sovereignty and international law." Araghchi made clear that "continuing talks under these circumstances is unjustifiable," and reaffirmed Tehran's commitment to retaliate decisively.

In the interview, Trump revealed that Russian President Vladimir Putin reached out to offer mediation. "He is ready. He called me about it. We had a long talk about it," Trump said. According to the Kremlin, the two leaders discussed the Israeli aggression and the halted nuclear negotiations. Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov described the call as "meaningful, frank, and most importantly, very useful."

Putin condemned the Israeli strikes as "destabilizing and provocative," noting their timing just days before scheduled nuclear talks, which were later canceled by Oman. In contrast to the US approach, Russia has reaffirmed its commitment to dialogue and regional stability, while the US continues to arm and shield the occupation entity as it violates international norms.

Despite Iran's clear refusal to negotiate under fire, Trump continues to promote the illusion of diplomacy, stating that "Israel's" assault might actually accelerate a nuclear agreement. "It may have forced a deal to go quicker, actually," he told ABC. Echoing these sentiments in a separate interview, he added, "I gave Iran 60 days, today is day 61… They should have made a deal."

Trump further mentioned that "Israel used great American equipment" during its attack, confirming what Iranian officials have described as open complicity in a campaign of targeted assassinations and state terror.
