Trump would back Israeli strikes on Iran’s missile program if U.S.-Iran talks fail

U.S. President Donald Trump has indicated support for possible Israeli strikes on Iran’s ballistic missile facilities if negotiations fail, according to a CBS News report citing sources familiar with a meeting between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Officials said U.S. defense and intelligence agencies have discussed potential support options, including aerial refueling and help securing regional airspace, though Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates have publicly opposed using their airspace for attacks. Meanwhile, Iran’s delegation led by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi attended talks in Geneva, Switzerland, signaling willingness to compromise on its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief, while U.S. officials say Washington prefers a diplomatic agreement.
