President Donald Trump<\/a> said Sunday that the US is not involved in Israel<\/a>‘s military strikes but “it’s possible we could get involved.”<\/p>\n

In an interview with ABC News’ Rachel Scott, Trump said he’s open to Russian President Vladimir Putin serving as a mediator in the conflict — something he said the Russian president pitched in their phone call on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Here are highlights from the interview:<\/em><\/p>\n

On Israel’s latest attack on Iran:<\/strong> “I think they were very devastating. It was very devastating. They were hit also, but it was a very devastating into Iran, primarily” the president said.<\/p>\n

On a deadline for Iran to come to the negotiating table:<\/strong> “No, there’s no deadline. But they are talking. They’d like to make a deal. They’re talking. They continue to talk,” he said. “Something like this had to happen because I think even from both sides, but something like this had to happen. They want to talk, and they will be talking.”<\/p>\n

Asked again about the talks being called off, the president said he’s confident it may help the deal — “May have forced a deal to go quicker, actually.”<\/p>\n

Will the U.S. get more involved in the conflict?:<\/strong> “We’re not involved in it. It’s possible we could get involved. But we are not at this moment involved,” the president said.<\/p>\n

Putin as a mediator in the conflict:<\/strong> “Yeah, I would be open to it. He is ready. He called me about it. We had a long talk about it. We talked about this more than his situation. This is something I believe is going to get resolved.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
