U.S. President Donald Trump indicated on Tuesday that progress has been made in the confrontation with Iran, but a final decision on how to achieve victory has not yet been made. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump hinted that further military steps remain an option, stating, "We just have to make a final decision. Which way do we want to win? Do we want to win the easy way or do we want to win the hard way?"
The President revealed that he personally approached several European governments to gauge their willingness to assist the United States in its dealings with Tehran. However, he stated that these nations declined to participate, though he emphasized that American forces do not require their help. "We don't need any help, but I wanted to test them," Trump said.
When questioned about the unannounced visit of U.S. Secretary of War the U.S. Secretary of War to Israel the previous day, during which the U.S. Secretary of War met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump declined to provide details. "I can't do that right now, no," he responded.
The U.S. Secretary of War himself confirmed his visit to Israel and his meeting with Netanyahu but also refrained from disclosing the conversation's content. "I was there to visit our troops, and I had the opportunity to speak with the Prime Minister. Of course, the content of our conversation is not something I can talk about, but they were good partners, and I appreciate that," the U.S. Secretary of War told reporters.
