US President Donald Trump declined to respond to inquiries from reporters regarding the possibility of the US teaming up with Israel to attack Iran or its nuclear facilities.

During a press briefing outside the White House, Trump stated, "There's a significant contrast between now and a week ago." He added, "I may take action, or I may not. No one knows what my decision will be."

While overseeing the installation of a new flagpole on the White House South Lawn, Trump mentioned that Iran had made overtures for discussions at the White House, but he deemed it "very late to be talking" without elaborating further.

He characterized Iran as completely vulnerable, lacking any air defense capabilities. When asked about his threshold for patience, Trump replied, "It has already expired. That's why we are taking the actions we are." However, when questioned about the possibility of negotiations being too late, he responded, "Nothing is beyond the point of negotiation."
