Trump Won't Nix Israel Attack on Iran, Yet Not Imminent
Potential U.S. action against Iran not explicitly rejected by Trump - Potential U.S. action against Iran not discounted by Trump
In a candid chat, Donald Trump didn't shut the door on an Israeli attack on Iran. When quizzed about the potential timeline for such a move, Trump shared his thoughts in DC: "Look, I ain't sayin' it's about to happen tomorrow, but it sure as hell seems like it could go down." The main concern here is that Iran can't hoard a nuclear bomb. Apart from that, he's all for the country thriving.
Slim Chance of Nuclear Deal Wrinkles Israeli Tensions
Concerning the Iranian nuclear shenanigans, Trump claimed they're nearly at a settlement. He's on the edge of scoring a decent deal. So long as he thinks a deal's in the works, he's not keen on an Israeli attack.
News outlets across the US alleged that Israel has already mapped out a potential strike on Iran's nuclear facilities. However, whether Netanyahu's government has made the final call on this remains uncertain. Recently, the US announced plans to decrease their diplomatic crew in Iraq due to worries that Iran's brass might retaliate against US facilities in the region if Israel attacks.

In a significant development on June 12, 2025, Israel carried out a massive military operation, focusing on Iran’s nuclear program, missile infrastructure, and key regime leaders, such as top nuclear scientists and military commanders[4][3][2]. The operation, confirmed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, targeted major nuclear sites like the Natanz Enrichment Complex and multiple locations in Tehran[4][1][3]. The strikes effectively quashed any chance of a nuclear deal revival as they were allegedly triggered by Israeli intel suggesting Iran had made considerable progress toward nuclear weaponization[3][1]. The US is yet to take a public stance on these strikes, but the situation escalates tensions and stirs concerns about wider regional conflict and US involvement[3][2][4].
The Commission may find it necessary to reconsider the draft directive on the protection of workers, given the potential risks related to exposure to carcinogens that could arise from the ongoing tensions between Iran and Israel. In light of the recent revelations about Israel's potential attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, it would be wise for Donald Trump to prioritize diplomacy over military action, considering the potentially devastating consequences a conflict could have on the region and the world at large.
