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.

The former Fox News host accused Trump of being “complicit” in Israel’s “act of war” following Israel’s recent military strikes on Iran.

The "America First" president praised his foreign policy record on Sunday while urging a deal between Iran and Israel amid escalating strikes.

Israel has launched hundreds of air strikes since the early hours of June 13th. Iran has responded with salvoes of ballistic missiles and drones, although only a handful have penetrated Israel’s defence systems.

Many of those confirmed dead were women and children, according to the authorities, although they have yet to publicly name all of the victims.

U.S. officials told NBC News Israel approached U.S. President Trump with a plan to kill Iran’s Supreme Leader, but Trump rejected that approach. Former Senior State Department and CIA Official Ned Price joins Alex Witt to give his reaction.

An exchange of strikes on refineries and gas facilities was limited but raised the risks to an industry with broad economic impacts.

Israel and Iran have opened a new chapter in their long history of conflict when Israel launched a major attack with strikes early Friday on Tehran.
