Israel initiating airstrikes last week after Iran announced its third nuclear facility. And now members of Congress are voicing their concerns over the U.S. military involvement. How to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear superpower while simultaneously not letting the conflict spread further across the Middle East. A new missile attack on Israel Monday morning, killing at least five people, has world leaders scrambling. So I think at the G7, I think there's an opening for those countries along with the United States to broker an agreement. Iran's foreign minister sharing in a statement on X, if President Trump is genuine about diplomacy and interested in stopping this war, next steps are consequential. President Trump expressing his concern on Truth Social, Iran and Israel should make a deal and will make a deal. President Trump has made it clear that the U.S. was not involved with the Israeli attack on Iran. However, he has shared he will get the U.S. military involved if the U.S. is attacked. Now a lot of unknowns right now, however, negotiations are in the works. The U.S. really taking the middle ground in this conflict, meantime not trying to get involved.
