Trump says Israel and Iran should make a deal to end the war

• On Saturday night, Trump wrote on his Truth Social account that the U.S. "had nothing to do with the attack on Iran" but stressed that if Iran attacks U.S. interests in the Middle East, he will order a harsh retaliation.
• White House officials say Trump is still trying to prevent further escalation of the current war and resume talks with Iran on a nuclear deal.
• Sunday's latest round of nuclear talks between the U.S. and Iran was canceled on Saturday.

What he is saying: "Iran and Israel should make a deal, and will make a deal, just like I got India and Pakistan to make...we will have PEACE, soon, between Israel and Iran! Many calls and meetings now taking place," Trump wrote Sunday on his Truth Social account.

Driving the news: Israel has asked the Trump administration to join the war with Iran in order to eliminate its nuclear program, Axios reported on Saturday.

• A U.S. official said Saturday that the administration is currently not considering Israel's request.
• On Sunday, Trump told ABC News' Rachel Scott that the U.S. is not involved in the war but added that "it's possible we could get involved."

State of play: Two Israeli officials said that there are currently no serious diplomatic initiatives to try and stop the war.

• One of the officials said that Israel currently isn't interested in a ceasefire because it still hasn't implemented all its objectives — especially when it comes to destroying Iran's nuclear program.
