President Donald Trump, when asked about Israeli involvement in the ongoing US strikes on Iran, said he does not want to discuss the matter and vowed to strike Iran forcefully, according to a report. The brief statement did not elaborate on the nature of Israeli involvement or the target of the strikes.
President Trump made the remark in response to a question about Israeli involvement in the US strikes on Iran, which have been ongoing for weeks. The president declined to elaborate, saying only that he would 'hit them hard.' The statement comes amid a series of Trump statements on the Iran campaign, as The Zioneer has reported, including his denial of Israeli involvement and his warning that the US has not yet struck at the highest level. The new remark does not change the US position but reinforces Trump's aggressive rhetoric. No further details on Israeli involvement or the strikes' targets were provided.
