President Trump 's comments on the Israel - Iran conflict have veered from full throated support for Israel 's strikes to strongly distancing himself from them.

His ambiguity has added to the sense of uncertainty as the fighting itself escalates.

So what factors are weighing on Trump and, crucially, what are his options now?.

Trump loyalist Marjorie Taylor Greene posted on X that: "Anyone slobbering for the US to become fully involved in the Israel/Iran war is not America First /MAGA" The risk of any American casualties would likely see the Maga isolationist argument grow exponentially, potentially adding pressure on Trump to pull back.
