President Donald Trump issued a message Thursday that Iran has “within the next two weeks” to negotiate with the United States.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt read a statement from Trump on Iran at the top of the press briefing a day after he said he “may” or “may not” order a strike on nuclear sit“Regarding the 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,” she said.
“In light of that news, I have a message directly from the President … ‘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,” she said.
Correspondence between the United States and Iran has continued, according to Leavitt, and any deal would be centered on no uranium enrichment and Iran not being able to produce a nuclear weapon.es in Iran.

For the curious:
MOAB (GBU-43/B):
Purpose: Designed for maximum blast effect over a wide area, primarily against soft targets like personnel concentrations, cave complexes, and infrastructure.
Delivery: Dropped from aircraft, such as the C-130, and detonates in the air, creating a large overpressure wave.
Explosive: Contains a large amount of high-explosive slurry (18,700 lbs).
Not designed for penetration: Primarily for surface and near-surface targets.
Combat Use: Used once in Afghanistan in 2017 against an ISIS tunnel network.
Bunker Buster (GBU-57):
Purpose: Designed to penetrate hardened structures, like underground bunkers and tunnels, before detonating.
Delivery: GPS-guided, allowing for precision targeting of deeply buried facilities.
Penetration: Can penetrate up to 200 feet of earth or 60 feet of concrete before detonating.
Explosive: Contains a substantial amount of explosives, with the GBU-57 weighing 30,000 lbs.
Strategic Importance: Used against high-value, hardened targets where minimizing collateral damage is crucial.
Not used in combat: While developed, the GBU-57 has not been used in combat.
In essence: The MOAB is a powerful area-denial weapon, while the bunker buster is a precision weapon designed to destroy deeply buried targets.
Time to test a bunker buster or two, Then drop a MOAB in the whole!
“radiation”
The Iranians use highly purified uranium, which is probably less radioactive than a large percentage of Florida houses.
Uranium is about as poisonous as lead. Uranium hexafluoride is highly corrosive.
At this point, the U-235 is probably no longer in gaseous form, but solidified and hidden away in an area the size of Texas.
All you Panicsans, sit down ,SHUY THE H UP and let the adults handel things.
Imagine getting on this website, insulting long-standing Freepers, and telling them to “shut up” at the same time the site’s management is desperately trying to meet its fundraising goals by the end of the month.
This is all about giving the Navy time to get everything in place.
Forget the pizza indicator at the Pentagon. If Lindsey Graham is smiling it will be this weekend.
Lol! Trump’s famous “two-weeks” expression !
“Two weeks” has practically become its own meme at this point. Anytime Trump says something is coming in “two weeks,” it’s like a running joke he does — everyone knows it doesn’t really mean two weeks. It’s more like a vague placeholder for “soon, maybe never, but stay tuned!”
It’s kind of amazing how consistent he’s been with that phrase over the years, whether he’s talking about health care plans, tax reforms, election fraud evidence — you name it. It’s become a trademark non-answer that gets headlines.
Trump’s timeline? Always “two weeks”

Oh,poor little you.I’m not going to lectured to bu someone who would have opposed theexican War, proably the War against the Pirates and l8kely would have beenaLoyalist during the Revolution. Spare me you,oh little old me crap.
Trump is irrelevant.
In two weeks, he knows that there will be no “Iran” with whom to negotiate
Please be cautious because those from Alberta seem to be progressing into becoming either the 51st state or a new Territory.
“Tonight or tomorrow night.”
That’s totally within the next two weeks...
Nah, two weeks is his standard answer when he's not sure about something.
Honestly, If Israel has 5,000 lb bombs, why don’t they just drop as many as they have on the site? At the very least it should disrupt operations for months or years, and bury the ventilation system.
If Iran’s position is that they just want nuclear power, and no weapons…
Then
Let’s allow Iran to buy and install SMR ‘s reactors, and operate them with third party staff & engineers, while protecting the locations with UN forces. No enrichment and no weapons , but all the benefits of nuclear energy.
Problem solved.
Israel should have been prepared for destroying Fordow in case we did not have the bunker buster bombs. Israel does have bombs, but I dont think they have the capability of reaching so far underground to destroy that nuke facility otherwise they would have already done so..and heck who knows if this Bunker Bomb even works, no one’s ever tried using it before..maybe it gets dropped and is a total dud who knows
Do one thing or the other but don't string us along.
Free beer tomorrow.
“I have heard nothing about any Israeli military losses thus far.”
Not a single Israeli plane lost so far.
