US President Donald Trump will decide whether or not the US gets directly involved in the Iran-Israel conflict within the next two weeks, the White House has said.
In a White House press briefing, Press secretary Karoline Leavitt delivered a message directly from Trump:
"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."
The press secretary has so far repeatedly declined to discuss "hypotheticals", including on whether Iranian officials could come to the White House, or whether Trump would seek approval from Congress over any US involvement.

Did you write the White House?
Okay, did anyone have this on their 2025 Bingo card? If so, you win!

Trump: “She’s wrong” !!!
Yeah, to repeat, Trump told Hamas to release all hostages by noon on a Saturday or else - Saturday came and went and nothing.
No. "Within two weeks".
Nothing. I agree. Take then out once and for all.
The two weeks wait time has all the appearances of a smokescreen. Maybe this weekend when he is on the golf course that nuclear bomb will disappear with a big bang or two.
2 Weeks to stop the spread! Do your part, keep your distance!
I guess there is a media blackout in Iran but I don’t see any sign of a popular uprising like 2009 or even 1979 overthrow. Who is to say Iran doesn’t turn into Libya or Syria? Damn if we bomb damn if we don’t.
2 weeks to see if they really NEED it. I saw a story earlier claiming that Israel doesn’t really NEED our bunker busters, and if that’s so, then we can stay out.
There is a media blackout. They turned everything off.
I read yesterday that Musk turned on Starlink. But nothing yet. They might be just waiting to see how it goes.
The past uprisings were squashed brutally and didn’t get help. Obama had the best chance but he’s a crazy Muslim.
Iran might not even have a viable internal force any longer. They are dying like crazy.
The doomsday plane has been moved to DC.
In my opinion, 47’s rhetoric is providing cover (so to speak) for Israel, who will ramp up their targeting of Iran during the next two weeks. Possibly, Israel will be content with major damage to the nuke program...thus buying time. Either way, Iran hasn’t the cards.
As far as any worry about WW3...no. The alliances aren’t there. China needs us so they’re not joining with Iran militarily. Russia has its own problems. The pathetic globalist West needs us too. Even the Arabs aren’t going to risk much for Iran.
Biggest danger: If the Mullahs ever feel close to being overthrown or seriously taken out: they could try to destroy Tel Aviv and other cities completely with everything they have. They’d likely fail.
Two weeks is just a verbal tic that Trump has when asked about the timeline of anything. There’s a montage from 2020 of the many, many, many times that he promised something would happen in two weeks, assembled by Vice, on YouTUbe.
2 weeks!
Many of those “two weeks” came and went. Some were extended. Many never came to fruition. I think he’s got so many people in his ear he doesn’t want to make a decision. More than a tic, it allows him to kick the can down the road until it’s usually forgotten.
This will be over in less time than that. The only cards Iran has is the straits and missiles. At the rate of launchers being destroyed, they will be gone in less than a week.
