US Positions Military to Potentially Join Israel War with Iran
IRAN, JUN 18 – President Trump considers joining Israel’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities to prevent weapon development, with over 200 missile sites hit, raising risks of broader conflict, officials said.
- On Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump convened his top national security advisers to deliberate on the possibility of joining Israel's airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear facilities, including the site at Fordow.
- This came after Israel conducted its largest air operation, striking over 50 locations, while Iran fired at least 25 missiles and deployed three drones toward Israel, all of which were successfully shot down.
- The U.S. boosted military deployments with fighter jets and refueling tankers to the Middle East, stressing a defensive posture to protect American forces unless attacked.
- Trump demanded Iran's "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!" and warned the supreme leader they know his location, while Iran’s leader vowed the country would never surrender and threatened harm.
- The ongoing escalation is hindering progress in hostage negotiations and diminishing hopes for a ceasefire in Gaza, while also raising concerns about a wider regional conflict triggered by proxy forces; additionally, S&P has cautioned that Israel’s sovereign credit rating may face downward pressure if the conflict with Iran continues.
