Washington, June 19 (V7N) — U.S. President Donald Trump has said that he has not yet made a final decision on whether the United States will directly intervene in the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Trump stated,

“All possible military and diplomatic options have been presented to me. But no final decision has been made. I will decide at the very last moment.”

According to a report by Al Jazeera, the U.S. President appears to be deliberately holding off on a firm commitment, keeping both allies and adversaries guessing about America's next move.

Trump's remarks come amid escalating hostilities in the Middle East, with Israeli strikes inside Iranian territory drawing international concern and prompting fears of a broader regional war. While Washington has maintained a stance of support for Israel’s right to self-defense, Trump’s comments suggest the U.S. is weighing its options carefully before any direct engagement.

Analysts say the ambiguity may be strategic, aimed at giving Washington leverage in both military planning and diplomatic negotiations. However, the lack of clarity is also contributing to rising global uncertainty.

It remains unclear when Trump will make his decision or what course of action he will ultimately choose. Both the Pentagon and State Department have declined to comment on operational specifics, saying only that the administration is “monitoring the situation closely.”

Trump’s final decision could have profound implications not only for the Middle East but for global security and U.S. foreign policy ahead of the upcoming election season.
