In a surprising turn of events, Donald Trump has once again left the door open for negotiations with Iran regarding their nuclear program. Speaking late on Wednesday (June 18, 2025), Trump stated that he has not yet made a final decision regarding U.S. involvement in Israeli attacks against Iran. The American President emphasized that while no decision has been finalized, discussions are underway at the White House’s crisis management room. When questioned about regime change in Iran, Trump responded ambiguously: “Anything could happen.”
Trump also noted that Tehran is seeking communication channels with Washington—a move he did not dismiss despite earlier claims that it was ‘too late for talks.’ Meanwhile, Israel continues its high-profile assaults targeting Iranian nuclear facilities, which Trump acknowledged as significant operations.
The President claimed that Iran was close to developing a nuclear weapon before Israel’s offensive began. Despite concerns from some supporters about entering another conflict, Trump insisted that they “don’t want to see Iran acquire a nuclear weapon.” He later announced plans for a meeting concerning the evacuation of American citizens from Israel amid rising tensions.
As the sixth day of the Iran-Israel conflict concludes, speculation grows over potential U.S. involvement fueled by Trump’s statements. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed resistance, declaring, “The battle has just begun.” Trump wished him “good luck” while encouraging Benjamin Netanyahu to continue.
Amid these developments, the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem issued evacuation flight notices without specifying timelines, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed readiness to execute any orders from Trump. Both nations exchanged missile barrages throughout the day, showcasing advanced weaponry like Iran’s Sejjil ballistic missile.
Israel reported successful interception attempts but warned residents to seek shelter following threats against Haifa. Military strikes intensified with hundreds of aerial refuelings supporting sustained operations across the Middle East.
