Lucknow – The United States’ increasing military involvement in the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel has sparked global concern, with several countries reportedly considering distancing themselves from Washington’s policies. At the heart of the controversy is U.S. President Donald Trump’s aggressive stance on intervention, which many nations fear may escalate rather than de-escalate the crisis.
President Trump has already confirmed that the U.S. is ramping up its military activities in the Middle East. In a surprising move, he cut short his participation in the G7 Summit in Canada to return and focus on the Iran-Israel situation. Trump has also publicly stated that the U.S. will deepen its engagement in Iran and claimed to have substantial intelligence on Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei.
Speculation is growing that the U.S. is scouting for new strategic military bases in the region, with Pakistan reportedly being a prime candidate. Trump’s recent lunch meeting with Pakistan’s Field Marshal Asim Munir has only fueled these reports further.
Media outlets suggest that if the U.S. continues its interventionist approach, other global powers will not stand by idly. Pentagon sources indicate that additional fighter jets and refueling tankers are being deployed to the region. Meanwhile, nations like China and Russia have been vocally critical of U.S. policy and may take countermeasures.
The Iran-Israel conflict shows no signs of slowing. While the U.S. has stood firmly behind Israel, Iran under Ayatollah Khamenei has significantly bolstered its military capability. However, Israel may not be able to sustain prolonged conflict without American support. As a result, several U.S. warships are now reportedly approaching Iranian waters.
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has stated that the enhanced military posture is intended solely to protect American citizens. American warships already stationed in the Indian Ocean have been instructed to move closer to Iran.
President Trump recently warned that any harm to U.S. nationals by Iran would trigger serious consequences. He has now claimed that “we control the skies over Iran,” a declaration that underscores the escalating tension in the region.
As the situation intensifies, global diplomatic circles are watching closely, with increasing worry that a broader regional or even global conflict could be on the horizon if the crisis is not defused.
