President Donald Trump, asked whether Israel would intervene in the ongoing US strikes on Iran, replied 'I won't answer that,' and separately promised 'powerful' strikes on Iran tonight and tomorrow, according to Amit Segal (N12).
President Donald Trump, in a statement Monday evening, declined to answer whether Israel would intervene in the ongoing US strikes on Iran, saying only 'I won't answer that.' He also vowed to strike Iran 'powerfully' tonight and tomorrow, according to Amit Segal (N12).
The remarks come just minutes after Trump said he would 'hit them hard' and dropped a reference to a memorandum of understanding, as The Zioneer reported. The latest statements confirm that Trump is maintaining the threat of further strikes while avoiding discussion of Israeli involvement.
The context of the exchange is the US campaign of strikes on Iran, which Trump has said would continue until a deal is reached. Trump has made several statements on the matter in recent weeks, including a pledge to defend Israel if it strikes Iran.
