Trump to give himself two weeks to decide whether to strike Iran

.

The White House said President Donald Trump would decide in two weeks whether to join Israel‘s campaign to dismantle Iran‘s nuclear program.

“Now, regarding the ongoing situation in Iran, I know there has been a lot of speculation amongst all of you in the media regarding the president’s decision-making and whether or not the United States will be directly involved,” press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Thursday.

“In light of that news, I have a message directly from the president, and I quote, ‘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.’ That’s a quote directly from the president for all of you today.”

This is a developing story and will be updated.
