Will the U.S. Get Pulled (Further) Into the Israel-Iran War?

President Donald Trump isn’t ruling out greater U.S. involvement in Israel’s war on Iran, even as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the campaign’s outcome could be regime change in Tehran – the kind of interventionist mission Trump has forcefully rejected in the past.

“We're not involved in it. It's possible we could get involved. But we are not at this moment involved," the president told ABC News.

American hawks seem delighted.

"If diplomacy is not successful and we are left with the option of force, I would urge President Trump to go all in, to make sure that when this operation is over, there's nothing left standing in Iran regarding their nuclear program," Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham told CBS News.

“If that means providing bombs, provide bombs…if that means flying with Israel fly with Israel,” added Graham, a staunch supporter of the 2003 invasion of Iraq. “The worst possible outcome for the world is to take the Iranian nuclear program on and leave it standing. That will be a disaster.”
