UNITED STATES, JUN 18 – President Trump weighs whether to authorize U.S. military strikes on Iran's nuclear sites amid Israeli airstrikes and diplomatic talks, with tens of thousands of U.S. troops in the region at risk.
- President Trump spoke Wednesday outside the White House about possibly striking Iran amid escalating missile barrages between Iran and Israel.

- Trump said, "I may do it, I may not do it," regarding military action, acknowledging divided opinions in his party and warning that U.S. involvement could cause irreparable damage.
- The U.S. continues to provide defensive support to Israel, is assessing potential military responses, and is working to safeguard a large number of American service members stationed in the Middle East amid warnings from Iran about the possibility of a full-scale conflict.
