His ambiguity has added to the sense of uncertainty as the fighting itself escalates - as has his departure from the G7 in Canada. He simply said he had "big stuff" to return to in Washington.

The White House said his departure was to do with "what's going on in the Middle East", while later on Truth Social he said it had "nothing to do with a Cease Fire".

Earlier, the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the attacks were "fully coordinated" with the US.

So what factors are weighing on Trump and, crucially, what are his options now?
