Trump's Shifting Iran Threats Leave World Leaders "Spooked"

World leaders are struggling to stop the expanding American-Israeli military campaign against Iran. They are also unnerved by unpredictable threats from U.S. President Donald Trump, which complicate diplomatic efforts. Officials from several nations report a climate of deep uncertainty. Their attempts to mediate a ceasefire or de-escalate the conflict are being undermined by the U.S. President's ever-changing rhetoric. The core challenge for diplomats is twofold: managing the active war and anticipating Washington's next move. This volatile situation, described by one source as "spooked," increases the risk of a broader regional conflict. With communication channels strained, allies and adversaries alike are preparing for multiple scenarios, unsure of what President Trump will say or do next.
