Israel launched a strike against Iran, escalating regional tensions without explicit U.S. support. While the Trump administration denied involvement, Trump later expressed support for the Israeli action. Israel had previously assured the U.S. that it would refrain from military action unless negotiations with Iran failed. Following the attack, Iran retaliated with over 100 drones targeting Israel, showcasing the deteriorating situation. This incident reflects the fragility of the Iran nuclear deal's framework, which was previously aimed at preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons through negotiations and international inspections. Trump's subsequent withdrawal from the deal created further instability.
"Israel had assured the U.S. it wouldn't strike Iran unless the negotiations between the U.S. and Iran failed, per Israeli officials."
"Trump is now pushing Iran to resume negotiations, though that's extremely unlikely."
"If all parties had adhered to their pledges, the deal could have prevented Iran from getting nuclear weapons for longer than a decade, the report said."
"Trump ripped up the agreement and threatened to leave it if it did not block Tehran from building nuclear weapons or intercontinental missiles."
