About this listen

The Associated Press (AP) article, "Trump has a choice as Israel looks for more US help vs. Iran," details former President Donald Trump's stance and actions regarding the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. The piece highlights Trump's early departure from the G7 summit to focus on the Middle East crisis and his assertive calls for Iran's "unconditional surrender," even stating that the U.S. knows the location of Iran's Supreme Leader. It further explores the internal debate within Trump's political base regarding potential deeper U.S. military involvement, specifically the possibility of providing Israel with "bunker-busting bombs" to target Iran's deeply buried nuclear facilities, which U.S. intelligence agencies believe are not currently being used to build a nuclear weapon. This article's purpose is to inform readers about the complex diplomatic and military considerations Trump faces in a volatile international conflict, underscoring the tension between his campaign promises and the realities of a widening war.
