Leavitt: Trump to decide on Iran action in next two 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.
