President Donald Trump said the United will come down on Iran “at levels never seen before” if the Middle Eastern country attacks.

Amid ongoing strikes between Israel and Iran, Trump is publicly and privately making clear his desire to keep the United States out of the fray for now.

Knesset member Ohad Tal tells Fox News that Israel's strikes against Iran are "saving the entire world" from threat, rejecting President Trump's call for a deal.

The United States is the main international backer of Israel, Iran's biggest regional foe. It is also a close ally of Sunni Gulf monarchies which for years pursued their own rivalry with the Islamic Republic, seeing it as their main regional threat.

Iran launched multiple deadly waves of missiles and drones toward Israel into Saturday morning following Israel’s unprecedented strikes aimed at destroying Iran’s nuclear program and decapitating its military leadership.

Iranian officials said on Friday that the United States "shall be held fully accountable" for its support of Israel after the nation took out key Iranian nuclear facilities and killed government leaders in a series of air strikes this week.

National security experts warn that Israel's attack on Iran shows why Chinese land and asset purchases in the U.S. pose a significant threat to American security.
