As debates over the U.S. role in the escalating Israel-Iran conflict intensify, former U.S. President Donald Trump finds himself in an increasingly complicated and politically risky position, reports BBC’s White House correspondent Gary O’Donoghue. While U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio tried to distance the administration from Israel’s offensive, labeling it a “unilateral Israeli decision,” Trump later praised the attack as “excellent” and lauded the “extraordinary American technology” used. This contrasts with Trump’s earlier promises of “ending wars, not starting new ones.”
