Donald Trump has warned that if Iran attacks, the US military will "come down with full force" as tensions in the Middle East escalate due to Tehran's fighting with Israel. He reiterated Washington's stance that it is not involved in the war and warned allies not to help Israel stop Iran's retaliatory strikes.

President Donald Trump told CNN in a brief phone call Friday morning that the United States “of course” supports Israel and called the country’s strikes on Iran overnight “a very successful attack,” while warning Iran to make a nuclear deal.
