President Trump issued a stark warning on Sunday that the United States might become directly entangled in the conflict between Israel and Iran if the hostilities do not de-escalate soon.
Although Trump expressed hope that Israel and Iran would eventually “make a deal” to bring an end to the heavy exchanges of missile fire that began Friday, he made it clear that the U.S. could be drawn into the fight if diplomacy fails to yield results.
“We’re not involved in it. It’s possible we could get involved. But we are not at this moment involved,” Trump told ABC News.
Trump also floated the possibility of Russian President Vladimir Putin playing a role in negotiating peace, citing the Kremlin’s diplomatic ties with both sides of the conflict.
