US President Donald Trump is leaning toward further escalation with Iran, according to statements by several Israeli and American officials on Sunday.

"It appears President Trump is preparing to expand the campaign against Iran," one official told The Jerusalem Post. "The remaining questions are 'how much' and 'when.' He understands that, barring an unexpected development, the chances of a diplomatic solution is now virtually nonexistent."

However, another official cautioned that Trump has changed course "at the last minute" before, noting that his position could still shift.

Israel's current assessment is that Iran will refrain from launching attacks against Israel as long as the United States does not significantly escalate its military campaign against Tehran.
