I find this hardly factual. Seems like a plot to get Pakistan into trouble, which is in their cross-hairs already.

US President Donald Trump told a news network on Sunday that the United States could become involved in the Iran-Israel conflict, and that he would be ‘open’ to his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin being a mediator.

The Republican president, according to ABC News, also said talks over Iran’s nuclear program were continuing and that Tehran would ‘like to make a deal,’ perhaps more quickly now that the Islamic republic is trading massive strikes with Israel.

‘It’s possible we could get involved’ in the ongoing battle between the Middle East arch-foes, Trump said in an off-camera interview with ABC News senior political correspondent Rachel Scott that was not previously publicized.

He stressed that the United States is ‘not at this moment’ involved in the military action.

As for Putin being a potential mediator in the conflict, ‘he is ready. He called me about it. We had a long talk about it,’ Trump said.

Israel and Iran traded heavy aerial assaults for a third straight day Sunday, with casualties mounting following Israel’s large-scale attacks aimed at crippling Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure, sparking retaliation.

Oman, which has acted as a mediator on the nuclear issue, has said a sixth round of talks between Iran and the United States planned for this weekend had been cancelled.

But Trump said the two sides were continuing discussions.

‘No, there’s no deadline’ on negotiations, he told ABC when asked whether there was a time limit for Tehran to come to the table.

‘But they are talking. They’d like to make a deal. They’re talking. They continue to talk,’ Trump said, according to Scott.

Trump suggested that something like the clash between Israel and Iran ‘had’ to happen to spur talks on a nuclear agreement.

It ‘may have forced a deal to go quicker, actually,’ Trump said.​

He does not realize that if he gets US military involved, then it will definitely get to be a regional conflict. Start of WWIII. Strait of Hormuz closed and kiss cheap oil goodbye.

I have heard several well-credentialed online commentators say that trying to tussle with Iran is "Madness". I agree.

Tehran has asked Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Oman to press US President Donald Trump to use his influence on Israel to agree to an immediate ceasefire with Iran in return for Tehran's flexibility in nuclear negotiations, two Iranian and three regional sources told Reuters on Monday.

Gulf leaders and their top diplomats worked the phones all weekend, speaking to each other, to Tehran, Washington and beyond in an effort to avoid a widening of the conflict as longstanding enemies Israel and Iran intensified their attacks in their biggest ever confrontation.

Iran is willing to be flexible in the nuclear talks if a ceasefire is reached, one of the Iranian sources said.

The Gulf States are deeply concerned the conflict will spin out of control, a Gulf source close to government officials told Reuters.

Qatar, Oman and Saudi Arabia have all appealed to Washington to press Israel to agree to a ceasefire and to resume talks with Tehran towards a nuclear deal, the Gulf source said.

The White House and US State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.​
