Trump Gives Iran Two-Week Deadline Amid War Escalation: “No Decision Yet on Strike”
• U.S. President Donald Trump said he will give Iran two weeks to “come to its senses” before deciding on any military action.
• Speaking late Friday, Trump confirmed that Iran was only weeks away from acquiring a nuclear weapon and emphasized that “they are the ones suffering right now.”
• Trump ruled out making an immediate decision on Iran, saying: “I can’t make the call yet” and suggested that circumstances will determine whether he supports a ceasefire.
• On diplomacy, Trump said Iran refuses to speak with Europe and only wants direct dialogue with the U.S.
• He added: “We will talk with Iran and see what happens next.”
• When asked about Israeli strikes, Trump noted: “Israel is doing well militarily, and Iran is suffering. I don’t see a way to stop the fighting.”
• He admitted it would be “difficult to ask Israel to stop bombing Iranian targets” and acknowledged Israel cannot eliminate all of Iran’s nuclear sites.
