Trump's tune has changed! The US is afraid of the escalation of the situation and being dragged into it! After Trump stated that we certainly support Israel, his tone has obviously changed. On June 16th, Trump made a new statement saying that Iran and Israel should reach an agreement, and they will definitely reach an agreement, just like how I facilitated the agreement between India and Pakistan. Two excellent leaders can quickly make decisions and "stop" the conflict!
Similarly, peace between Israel and Iran will soon be achieved! Many calls and meetings are currently taking place. I have done a lot, but received no praise, but it doesn't matter, people will understand. Let the Middle East become great again! It is clear that after Israel's first round of successful attacks and Trump clearly supporting Israel, Trump's attitude has obviously changed. Trump's statement is undoubtedly to mediate.
In fact, there are several signs showing that the US is trying to avoid getting involved in the conflict. One is that during the call with President Putin, Trump expressed openness to Russia playing the role of mediator, which indicates that Trump at least supports mediation. The other is that Trump clearly warned Iran not to attack American military facilities in the Middle East. Otherwise, the US will consider intervening. In other words, although Israel and Iran are now fighting fiercely, the US has not intervened yet.
Why does Trump want to mediate? Of course, it is to avoid being dragged into the situation by Israel. From the perspective of the US, the US wants to focus on the Asia-Pacific region and does not want to be distracted by the Middle East. From the internal perspective of the US, Trump wants to cut costs, and the US certainly does not want to get involved in a costly operation. In fact, due to rare earth control and supporting Ukraine, the US military industry capacity is also a problem. Clearly, all these issues forced Trump to consider carefully.
