The new Israeli military operation against Iran is giving President Donald Trump a fresh test of his campaign promise to disentangle the U.S. from foreign conflicts. It lands as he's dealing with domestic turmoil: Opponents of his administration are set to rally in hundreds of cities on Saturday during the military parade in Washington to mark the Army’s 250th anniversary, which coincides with Trump’s birthday.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, doubling as Trump’s national security adviser, asserted that the U.S. was “not involved” and that protecting U.S. forces in the region is the Republican administration’s central concern. Trump, however, said Friday that he knows of Israel’s plans and warned Iran of “a lot more to come.”
