Stubb: Next 48 hours will show US response to Middle East crisis

President Alexander Stubb said the next 24 to 48 hours would clarify the United States' intentions in the conflict between Israel and Iran. Speaking in Naantali during the Kultaranta Talks, he noted that the form and scale of any US involvement remained uncertain.

“How the United States engages with this conflict will decide much. If and how it does, the next 24 to 48 hours will tell us,” Stubb said.

Jussi Halla-aho, Speaker of the Finnish Parliament, agreed that a US response was imminent but difficult to predict.
