In cryptic remarks today, President Trump wouldn't say whether he's willing to join Israel

in its attempt to destroy Iran's nuclear program.

But according to the Wall Street Journal, President Trump told senior aides he has approved of

attack plans, holding off only to see if Iran changes course.

The prospect of direct U.S. involvement has added to fears of a wider war in the Middle

East.

Tonight, cities in Israel and Iran under fire. The country's at war trading more blows overnight

and into today, nearing a week of strikes in the ever-deepening conflict.

And here at home, you don't seriously think I'm going to answer that question.

The major question still unanswered tonight, whether President Trump would push the U.S. into the

conflict to join Israel's strikes on Iranian nuclear facility.

You don't know that I'm going to even do it. You don't know.

I may do it.

I may not do it.

I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do.

I can tell you this, that Iran's got a lot of trouble.

We'll see.

The next week is going to be very big, maybe less than a week.

Maybe less.

President Trump speaking with reporters as workers installed new flagpoles on the White House South Lawn said Iran had reached out to him and even proposed coming to the White House for talks.

Mr. President, have you given the Iranians an ultimatum?

Uh, you could say so.
