President Trump announced on Thursday that he would decide within two weeks whether to authorize military action against Iran, as he remains optimistic about a potential diplomatic breakthrough.
“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, quoting Trump during her press briefing.
Speaking the day before, Trump mentioned that Iranian officials were expressing interest in meeting with him directly at the White House.
“If there’s a chance for diplomacy, he’s not afraid to grab it,” Leavitt said.
The proposed agreement under discussion would require Iran to completely halt its uranium enrichment activities.
