Trump Says US 'Could Get Involved' in Iran-Israel Conflict

[Zorro]

Source: Bloomberg News

President Donald Trump said that it’s possible the US could become involved in the Israel-Iran conflict.

“It’s possible we could get involved,” Trump said in an interview with ABC News on Sunday. He noted that the US is “not at this moment involved.”

The US has jet fighters, ships and ground-based air-defense systems positioned near the warring countries to help counter any Iranian attack on American assets or people. It has not yet openly assisted Israel in its strikes, but has helped the country defend itself.

In a separate post on Truth Social, Trump said that many calls were taking place and that “we will have PEACE, soon, between Israel and Iran!”

You just know he's itchin' to nuke Iran.

[William Seger]

1. "we will have PEACE, soon, between Israel and Iran!"

Just a few calls is all it takes! Also in Ukraine, any day now.

A reminder: RUMP's current state of delusion and mental illness is called "power psychosis."

[RainCaster]

2. He wants to nuke somebody, doesn't care who

That limp dick-tator wannabe is desperate to be seen as a strong man, especially after his failed parade. When will our military sit him down and teach him to STFU? Probably won't happen with Little Marco heading up the State Department.

[bdamomma]

17. His sick family

isn't saying anything to him ether, they are grifting too. Sickening.

[Deuxcents]

3. Yeah.."we could get involved" but it depends which way the wind blows. He's turned his back on Ukraine

So I’m not sure what our support would mean these days

[slightlv]

34. Ask the Afghani translators, etc., who helped us over there.

they can tell you what our support these days looks like. Ask the one religious group who are neither muslim or jew (or xtian), but the old Pagan religion of millenia ago. We left them hanging out on their own, their women captured, raped, and sold into slavery. The men killed on site. I mean, what could be worse than being a muslim or a jew over there? Being neither, but upholding and keeping alive one of the oldest religions of the area.

[johnnyfins]

4. TSF thought bubble: Well, my perade crowd numbers were low

and everyone knows it. Everyone also knows that millions turned out for no kings day. How can I redirect the media????

I know, I'll just say we COULD get involved in the Israel/Iran thing.

[slightlv]

35. Wasn't one of his main promises to his people was that

we wouldn't get into any more wars?! Even talking about it in the abstract can't be good for him with the magats. The only ones I think this would sit well with would be the Dominionists. And only because they believe every person of the Book.. Jewish, Xtian, Muslim, must be turned to their form of Xtianity before their christ will return. They're for killing everyone and leaving the land in ruins, if it means their revered 2nd coming!

[Bluestocking]

5. Didn't he make a deal with the Houtis

that if they stop attacking our ships we will leave them alone. Thanks to Trump they can focus their attacks on Israel.

[manicdem]

28. There was a deal

"On May 6, 2025, a ceasefire deal between the United States and the Houthi movement in Yemen—brokered by Oman—took hold, ending the March–May 2025 United States attacks in Yemen, as well as the wider US–UK airstrikes on Yemen since the beginning of the Red Sea crisis. The Houthis agreed to halt their attacks on US vessels but otherwise would continue their attacks on vessels in the Red Sea[1] and emphasized that the ceasefire did not in "any way, shape, or form" apply to Israel, which had begun launching its own strikes on Yemen.[2]"

6. As if we're not?

Donald says.....

[ananda]

7. Exactly! Nukes are like a fun toy to the demented toddler.

Maybe he thinks they'll make him king of the world.

[slightlv]

36. I commented to hubs yesterday who trump was gonna nuke first...

the middle east, Ukraine, or LA. I wouldn't put it past him to do any of them. Or perhaps he's just waiting for the right hurricane this season?!

[ananda]

38. LOL

Gallows humor, I guess ... but that was funny.

[C_U_L8R]

8. All pouty over his petite parade

he's gonna act out and over-compensate as the world laughs at him

[twodogsbarking]

9. Involved?

[Pachamama]

10. Orange Anus gave the Greenlight from the get-go

Despite what Lil Marco claimed

He wants this

[Shipwack]

30. I don't know...

While I distrust anything from anyone in the mis-administration, Marco might be telling the truth here.

Israel, like Ukraine, knows that Trump is untrustworthy. Even if he didn’t slip Putin a timetable, there’s a good chance he’d blab it to some rando at Mar-a-lago, just to look important.

11. Saying that the US could get involved is a very biased statement.

From outside the ring, when the ref grabs the arm of one fighter and lets the other fighter swing at will, one might observe that the ref is somehow involved. The held fighter, from inside the ring, may also suspect the ref is involved. So, my question is, how can Iran not believe that the US is already involved? What am I missing here?

eta - you see, what the problem is here is that the US did not intercept missiles of Israeli origin for targets in Iran, however the US did intercept missiles of Irani origin for targets in Israel. By these actions it is not possible to credibly state that the US 'could get involved', a more accurate statement would be that the US is already involved.

12. More distraction while our democracy at home is raped and pillaged

Everything these Repukes do is for themselves and to enrich themselves and their buddies with taxpayer dollars period. It's not for Israel or peace or any such shit. They are going to play the 3 Card Monte on us until the day we as a country squash them, which will probably be never unfortunately. We're too busy watching Fake Housewives' of Mars or some shit.

[LudwigPastorius]

13. He's criminally insane.

The GOP must align with Democrats and stop him.

[slightlv]

37. Criminally insane describes

the entire R party and all their voters! Alignment with another party isn't going to help that. That would only diminish us and what we're trying to accomplish peacefully.

14. Trump had asked several times why the US couldn't use its nuclear weapons

In August MSNBC's Joe Scarborough reported that candidate Trump had asked his foreign policy advisers several times why the US couldn't use its nuclear weapons - a claim the Trump campaign denied.

The report, however, followed on the heels of an April 2016 town hall forum exchange between Mr Trump and MSNBC's Chris Matthews, who asked him why he had refused to categorically rule out the use of nuclear weapons.

"Would there be a time when it could be used?" Trump replied. "Possibly. Possibly."

When pressed on the risks of openly talking of using nuclear weapons, Mr Trump said: "Then why are we making them? Why do we make them?"

20. Qom war plans include a tactical nuke option if conventional

Weapons fail.

Bunker busters are not a slam dunk.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

15. Like he and Bibi didn't plan this together?

[PSPS]

18. trump and bibi are both corrupt with only their positions keeping them out of prison

Of course they'll work together to keep each other out of prison even if it means slaughtering even more innocent civilians.

[JCMach1]

19. It will take heavy bunker busters to take out Qom

And that's a maybe.

Bibi knew the score when he laid into Iran. US will have little choice if needed to take out the final boss .

[flashman13]

21. What happened to peacenik Trump? "The world wonders"

[Evolve Dammit]

27. It's all a BS con job. He could care less. Just wants a "peace prize" but not demonstrating anything to qualify. nt

[Ponietz]

22. Drones targeted US troops in Iraq according to Al Jazeera

The Associated Press news agency is reporting that three drones launched towards the Ain al-Asad air base in western Iraq, which houses US troops, have been shot down.

The agency, which cited two anonymous US officials, said that no group has claimed responsibility for the launches.

The reported assault comes amid fears in the US that Iran-backed groups could attack American forces across the Middle East as the Israel-Iran conflict escalates.

23. Fuck no

Send the "End Times" fundamentalists since it seems that's what they want but leave the rest of us out of it..

[Magoo48]

24. bibi and agent orange, plotting together, what could possibly go wrong?

[WestMichRad]

25. I call BS on "not at this moment involved".

We have loads of military involvement in the region, no doubt on high alert. Most definitely any and all of our military and commercial interests in the region are potential targets for Iran and its allies. The US arms Israel and presumably helps them defend against missiles and drones.

It’s only a small step between the current situation and exchange of fire.

[Irish_Dem]

26. God help us.

[Grins]

29. "It's possible we could get involved." We ARE INVOLVED butt-wipe!!!!

And the whole world knows it! That attack has "MADE IN AMERICA!" all over it.

Because of Trump; and the army of red-faced-angry, buttoned-down bottom feeders who support him. And his Party. The same people who lied to themselves and voted for him because "He kept us out of war!", are the same people who will get us into the next one.

[lonely bird]

31. Many calls were taking place

He’s got the vocabulary of a fourth grader.

What an embarrassment.

[BootinUp]

32. This is just Trump's latest attempt to distract everyone. nt

[fujiyamasan]

33. lol so Lockheed stock was up almost 4% Friday

Along with most other defense stocks. Meanwhile American oil and gas companies did great too…while much of the rest of the market was down.

And we’re not already involved? Sure…

Always look to see who profits.
