U.S. President Donald Trump said Washington may “have to get involved” in the escalating Israel-Iran conflict if the fighting continues. His remarks came as Israel carried out a second straight night of strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, deepening fears of a wider regional war.

The comments raised the prospect of direct American involvement in a conflict that has already intensified sharply over two days. The strikes on Iran have pushed tensions higher across the region, with both governments warning of further retaliation and civilians facing growing uncertainty.

The situation is unfolding against a backdrop of heightened military pressure and diplomatic alarm. Any broader intervention by the United States would mark a major escalation and could have far-reaching consequences for regional security and civilian lives.

Reuters reported the statement as Israel continued its attacks on Iranian facilities. The latest developments add to concerns that the confrontation could move beyond a bilateral exchange and draw in more actors, with unpredictable consequences for the Middle East.
