Trump will make Iran decision ‘within two weeks’: WH

President Donald Trump will make a decisoin on whether or not to have the United States join Israel's war with Iran "within the next two weeks," a senior White House official said Thursday. "He will make a decision within the next two weeks" about taking a direct military role in the conflict, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters at a press briefing. 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. The remarks come as Iran, Israel and America's allies wait for Trump's decision on whether to get involved in the escalating war in the Middle East. Trump has called on Iran's "unconditional surrender" in recent days, something the Iranian regime has rejected.

Leavitt: Trump to decide on Iran action in next 2 weeks

President Trump is expected to make a decision about whether to take direct action against Iran in the next two weeks, he said Thursday in a message delivered through his spokesperson. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters at a briefing that she had a message directly from Trump in response to speculation about whether he would get directly involved in the conflict between Iran and Israel. “Based on the fact that there’s a substantial chance of negotiation that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future, I will make my decision whether or not to go in the next two weeks,” Trump said in a statement read aloud by Leavitt.

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.
