Leavitt said the decision was based on Trump's view that Iran "may" or "may not" agree to a diplomatric resolution through negotiations over its nuclear program, Leavitt said.

Trump to make final decision ‘within the next two weeks’ on US taking military action against Iran

President Trump said Thursday he would make his final decision on whether to strike Iran in the “next two weeks,” because he’s still hoping for negotiations. “Based on the fact that there’s a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future, I will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters directly from Trump during her briefing. Trump said Wednesday that the Iranians were looking to go to the White House to talk to him directly. “If there’s a chance for diplomacy, he’s not afraid to grab it,” Leavitt said. The deal would mean Iran agreeing to no more uranium enrichment.
