The White House announced on Thursday that former U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to make a final decision within two weeks regarding potential American involvement in the escalating conflict between Israel-Iran War.

Possible Negotiations with Iran May Influence Decision
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt relayed a message from Trump, indicating that the decision would be influenced by the likelihood of future diplomatic talks with Iran. “Given the significant possibility of negotiations with Iran in the near term—though not guaranteed—I will make my decision within the next two weeks,” Trump stated, according to Leavitt.
Rising Tensions in the Middle East
The announcement comes at a time of increasing instability in the region. Reports indicate that Israel has launched an attack on Iran’s only functioning nuclear power plant, raising concerns about a broader conflict that could draw in additional powers. While the United States has not yet taken direct military action, it remains closely engaged through diplomatic efforts and intelligence monitoring.
Weighing Strategic Options
The current U.S. administration is reportedly evaluating a range of responses, aiming to support its ally Israel while avoiding deeper military entanglement in the Middle East. Trump’s forthcoming decision is expected to have major implications—not just for the trajectory of the Israel-Iran standoff, but for the broader direction of U.S. foreign policy in the region.
