Live updates by Israel Strike: Israel spears dozens of strikes in Iran, says IDF
President Donald Trump addressed the possibility of an Israeli strike against Iran in the context of the United States to follow a nuclear agreement with Tehran.
“As long as I think there is agreement, I don’t want you to enter because I think that would blow it,” he said during an event at the White House. “It can actually help you, but it could also blow it.”

Trump continued to characterize past discussions among American and Iranian negotiators as “very good”, without saying if they believed they could finally reach an agreement.
The president also recognized that “something could happen soon” in the region.
“I don’t want to say imminent. But it seems that it could happen,” Trump told the correspondent of the White House of ABC News, Selina Wang, when he asked if an Israeli attack was imminent.
“Look, it’s very simple. It’s not complicated: Iran can’t have a nuclear weapon,” he said.
