President Donald Trump stated that Israel is not involved in the current US strikes on Iran, distancing the military operation from any perception of coordinated action with America’s closest Middle Eastern ally.
The declaration, reported by Fox News, lands at a moment when every geopolitical tremor sends shockwaves through crypto markets.
What’s happening on the ground
US Central Command executed airstrikes targeting Iranian air defense systems on June 10, 2026, following an incident involving the downing of a US helicopter. Trump described the military response as “very strong.”
Trump has been consistent in framing the conflict as a unilateral American decision. In April 2026, he stated plainly: “Israel never talked me into the war with Iran.” His rationale centers on two pillars: the October 7, 2023 terrorist attacks and concerns over Iran’s potential nuclear capabilities.
