Donald Trump recently expressed his commitment to resolving the Iran nuclear issue through diplomatic means, but the situation has quickly escalated. Following his statement, Israel launched attacks on Iran, leading to a series of retaliatory strikes. Iran has targeted Israeli cities with ballistic missiles and drones, while Israeli warplanes have struck Tehran's air-defense systems.
Moreover, Israel has conducted airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, causing significant damage. The United States is already assisting Israel in defending against missile attacks. As tensions rise, some Republicans are pushing for a more aggressive approach. Senator Lindsey Graham emphasized the importance of supporting Israel if diplomatic efforts fail, urging the US to fully engage in the conflict.
