Trump Now Says He Wants to “Solve the Crisis” After Backing Israeli Assault on Iran

Doha (Quds News Network)- US President Donald Trump told Qatar’s Emir he is ready to “help resolve the crisis” between Israel and Iran. The statement came in a phone call on Friday, according to the Qatari Emiri Diwan. It came after Trump backed an Israeli assault on Iran that violated protocols during ongoing nuclear agreement talks.

Trump said Washington is “prepared to take part in efforts to solve the crisis and preserve regional security and stability.”

The call focused on the US-backed Israeli strike on Iranian territory and the growing tensions in the region. Qatar’s Emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, stressed the need to de-escalate and pursue diplomatic solutions.

Trump’s offer comes just hours after reports confirmed that he secretly approved Israel’s large-scale assault on Iran. According to Israeli officials quoted by Axios, Trump gave a “clear green light” for the operation, despite pretending in public to oppose it.

Officials said the US wanted to keep Iranian targets in place by misleading Tehran into thinking no attack was coming. Even a phone call between Trump and Netanyahu — presented as an effort to prevent escalation — was reportedly used to coordinate the strike.

Following the attack, Trump posted a message on Truth Social:
“They are all DEAD now, and it will only get worse… Iran must make a deal before there is nothing left.”

Iran responded by launching hundreds of missiles at Israel. Videos showed direct hits in Tel Aviv. Iran also claimed to have downed two Israeli fighter jets and captured a female pilot.

Despite backing the assault, Trump now appears to be positioning himself as a potential mediator.
