Washington, February 16 (Xinhua) — US President Donald Trump said he would support Israeli strikes against Iran's ballistic missile program if talks between Washington and Tehran fail, American media reported on Sunday.
D. Trump made this statement during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida in December 2025, CBS News reported, citing sources.
US officials reportedly discussed how the US could help Israel, including by refueling Israeli aircraft and facilitating overflight permits in neighboring countries.
However, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the UAE have publicly stated that they will not allow their airspace to be used for any attacks against Iran, nor for Iranian attacks on other countries.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Sunday during a visit to Slovakia that he prefers to resolve tensions with Iran through diplomatic means.
The second round of nuclear talks between Washington and Tehran is expected to take place in Geneva on Tuesday. M. Rubio confirmed that US Special Envoy Steven Witkoff and Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner will represent Washington at the talks.
