According to Trump, the probability of negotiations with Tehran still exists.
Based on the fact that there is a significant probability of negotiations with Iran, which may or may not happen in the nearest future, I will make a decision within the next two weeks
As the Wall Street Journal previously reported, citing sources, Trump agreed with plans to strike Iran, but has not yet given the final order. He told his advisors that he supports preparations for the attack, and decided to postpone the decision to give diplomacy a chance and to ensure whether Tehran will abandon its nuclear program.
Meanwhile, in response to possible threats, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei warned Washington that any military intervention against Iran "will inevitably bring serious and irreversible consequences for the United States."
