Trump denies Israel pushed US into Iran war

President Donald Trump has publicly denied that Israel influenced the US decision to go to war with Iran, stating 'Israel never convinced me to go to war with Iran' in response to media reports. The comments come amid ongoing tensions with Iran and preparations by both US and Israeli forces for potential hostilities. Trump's remarks directly counter claims that Israeli officials had lobbied the US administration to take military action against Iran. The president appeared visibly agitated while making these statements, suggesting the media coverage had provoked his response.
