Trump posted today (June 15th) and said: "The U.S. has no connection with Israel's attack on Iran last night. If Iran attacks us in any form or manner, the U.S. military will strike back with unprecedented power and means! It will be a powerful strike you have never seen before!! Honestly speaking, I can easily mediate an agreement between Iran and Israel to end this bloody conflict!!!’"
After Trump posted this message, cabinet members such as Secretary of State Rubio and Defense Minister Henges immediately forwarded it, conveying and reinforcing deterrence signals to Iran.
From the content of the statement, Trump first emphasized that the U.S. and Israel were not related to Iran's attack, which was aimed at clearing the U.S. of involvement and avoiding Iran targeting retaliation towards the U.S. Although Trump emphasized that the U.S. did not participate in this attack, it is obvious that the U.S. is on Israel's side in the Iran-Israel conflict. At the same time, he warned Iran not to attack the U.S., otherwise, it would face a strong counterattack from the U.S. military, showing Iran America's tough attitude, and playing a deterrent role. Earlier, Iran had already stated that it would expand its attack targets to include U.S. military bases in the region.
