President Donald Trump has publicly denied that Israeli officials pressured the United States into launching its recent military strikes on Iran, insisting that the decision was made independently based on U.S. intelligence and perceived threats. Speaking to reporters alongside the German chancellor, Trump said that he believed Iran would have attacked first if the U.S. had not acted, and that any suggestion the strikes were dictated by Israel was inaccurate. “If anything, I might have forced their hand,” he said, stressing that the U.S. acted on its own assessment of risk rather than under foreign influence. His clarification comes amid ongoing debate and criticism from lawmakers and analysts about the rationale for the military campaign and its connections to American and allied strategic interests. #Headlines360 #TrumpIran #ForeignPolicy #MiddleEastCrisis #BreakingNews #USForeignPolicy #GlobalPolitics
