US President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he would make a decision about US military involvement in Iran within two weeks, offering a timeframe for a possible intervention into a conflict that flared last week and has so far remained limited to Israel and the Islamic Republic.
“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 on whether or not to go within the next two weeks,” Trump said via White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who asserted that Tehran may be “a couple of weeks” away from being able to deploy a nuclear weapon.
“As for correspondence between the United States and the Iranians, I can confirm that correspondence has continued as you know we were engaged with six rounds of negotiations with them in both indirect and direct ways,” Leavitt said in a press briefing.
