Trump to decide on American action in Israel-Iran conflict within two weeks

US President Donald Trump will decide whether the US is directly involved in the Iran-Israel conflict within the next two weeks, the White House said.

In a briefing for the White House press, the press secretary Carolyn Levitus handed a message directly from Trump:

“Based on the fact that there is a significant chance for negotiations that may or may not be held with Iran in the near future, I will decide whether to go within the next two weeks.”

Earlier, Iran’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs told the BBC that it would cause “hell” in the region if the US joins, adding: “This is not America’s war.”

The news comes 24 hours after Trump said he did not decide to join the conflict.

Asked what is the message of “Trump supporters every day,” who have concerns about US involvement, said Levit, “Trust President Trump.”

She added that the “main priority” of the president was to ensure that Iran did not construct a successful nuclear weapon.

The press secretary has repeatedly refused to discuss “hypothetical substances”, including whether Iranian officials could come to the White House or whether Trump would seek congress approval for US involvement.

Trump and his administration have tried to maintain the air of strategic ambiguity – not very public about their thinking or potential courses of action.

“I can do it,” he told reporters on Wednesday. “I may not.”

The administration maintains that Iraran has never been closer to the successful construction of nuclear weapons.

Trump has rejected intelligence assessments – including some of the national intelligence director Tulsi Gabard in Congress earlier this year – that Iran does not plan to do so.

Speculation was intensified for Trump’s intentions on Wednesday after Iran’s supreme leader Ali Hamenei rejected his request for a transfer.

The US BBC CBS partner has reported Trump had approved his plans to attack IranBut he had not made a final decision whether to move forward.

The US President has arrested if Iran has agreed to abandon his nuclear program, a source of intelligence said.

On Thursday, Trump replied to the Truth Social, saying that The Wall Street Journal, where the reports first appeared, have no idea what my thoughts about Iran were. “He did not turn to whether the plans were approved.

The president is reported to be considering strikes on the Iranian nuclear object Fordo, Uranus enrichment facilityS

Iran insists that Fordo is only used for civil purposes.

The location of the site, hidden away in the mountains, throws it out of the reach of Israel’s weapon. It is believed that only the US has a bomb that can be large enough to destroy Fordo.

Diplomatic efforts are being implemented on Friday as the conflict continues, with European foreign ministers meeting to meet their Iranian counterpart in Switzerland on Friday.

Levitt said the correspondence between US negotiators and Iranians continues.

Earlier, Reuters announced that the US Special Messenger Steve Vikof and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi have spoken on the phone several times since Israel began their strikes for Iran last week in an attempt to find a diplomatic end of the crisis.

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Said Hatibzade told the BBC that he hoped for diplomacy as a “first option”, but as long as the bombing continues “we can’t start negotiations”.

He said that the participation of us would be “hell for the whole region”, which will turn the conflict into the “corpse”, will continue aggression and delay the end of the “brutal atrocities”.

This is “Not the War of America” ​​and if Trump joins, he will always be remembered as “a president who enters a war in which he does not belong,” Hatibzade added.

Trump’s two -week period came after a hospital in southern Israel was hit during an Iranian missile attack on Thursday morning.

Iranian state media reported that the strike was aimed at the hospital, not the facility itself.

The Israeli Ministry of Health said 71 people were injured during the attack on Soroka Medical Center.

Israel said at least 24 people had been killed in the country since the beginning of the conflict. Iranian state media last updated their death rate on Sunday, June 15, when she said 224 people had been killed.

The Human Rights News Agency (Hrana) – a Washington -based human rights organization that has long been tracking Iran – said 639 people have been killed in Iran since Friday last week.

The Israeli military continued their strikes on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure on Thursday, stating that it had hit an “inactive nuclear reactor” in Arak at night raids, who also saw the Nathan Uranus enrichment facility again.
