<p>President Donald Trump relayed a message on the Middle East conflict through White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Thursday, saying that he would decide whether to strike Iran &#8220;within the next two weeks.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump has backed Israel&#8217;s airstrikes on Iran that have taken out some of the radical Islamic regime&#8217;s nuclear facilities and military leaders, while urging the Ayatollah to come to the negotiating table. The president has not ruled out direct U.S. military action against Iran, and even <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/he-is-an-easy-target-trump-says-he-knows-exactly-where-the-ayatollah-is-hiding">said</a> that the United States knows &#8220;exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding.&#8221; Leavitt addressed the speculation surrounding the president&#8217;s thinking on conflict, reading a statement from Trump in the Briefing Room.</p>
<p>&#8220;Based on the fact that there&#8217;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,&#8221; the president stated in his message.</p>

<p>Trump told reporters on Wednesday that &#8220;nobody knows&#8221; what his thinking is on a potential U.S. strike on Iran, adding, &#8220;I may do it, I may not do it.&#8221; The president later said that Iran was only “a few weeks away” from obtaining a nuclear weapon.</p>
<p>“I’m not looking to fight, but if it’s a choice between fighting and having a nuclear weapon, you have to do what you have to do,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;Maybe we won’t have to fight. Maybe it will end very quickly.”</p>
<p>The president <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/president-trump-says-tehran-wants-to-talk-about-ceasefire-after-pummeling-from-israel?author=Tim+Pearce&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+Says+Tehran+Wants+To+%E2%80%98Talk%E2%80%99+About+Ceasefire+After+Pummeling+From+Israel">said</a> earlier this week that Iran made a mistake by refusing to make a deal with the United States.</p>
<p>&#8220;I’d say Iran is not winning this war, and they should talk, and they should talk immediately, before it’s too late,” he said on Monday.</p>
<p>Leavitt added on Thursday that the Trump administration has continued &#8220;correspondence&#8221; with Iran.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">White House confirms that the United States has continued to be in correspondence with the Iranian regime. <a href="https://t.co/KUgj46Q2Af">pic.twitter.com/KUgj46Q2Af</a></p>

<p>Iran <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/crossing-of-a-red-line-iran-hits-major-israeli-hospital-with-direct-strike?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Hank+Berrien&amp;category=News+and+Analysis&amp;elementPosition=3&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=%E2%80%98Crossing+Of+A+Red+Line%E2%80%99%3A+Iran+Hits+Major+Israeli+Hospital+With+Direct+Strike">escalated</a> the conflict on Thursday with a direct airstrike on an Israeli hospital, a move that Israel Health Minister Uriel Buso called an &#8220;act of terrorism and a crossing of a red line.&#8221;</p>
<p>Some <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2025/06/18/bunker-buster-bomb-israel-iran-conflict/84257733007/">reports</a> suggest that Israel wants the United States to get directly involved in the conflict, so that the U.S. military can take out Iran&#8217;s Fordow nuclear site, which is built nearly 300 feet underground. Only America&#8217;s B-2 Bombers have the ability to drop a &#8220;bunker buster&#8221; bomb that could take out the Fordow plant in a single strike.</p>
