US President Donald Trump will decide on a military attack on Iran over the next two weeks, although he still prefers the possibility of a diplomatic settlement of the situation. On Thursday, the White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said it, writes TASR, according to AP, AFP and Reuters and Sky News.
“Based on the fact that there is a great chance of negotiations with Iran that may or may not take place in the near future, I will decide over the next two weeks whether I will do it or not,” Leavitt quoted President Trump’s statement.
Fixed position
According to the White House spokeswoman, Trump’s view “cannot surprise anyone” that Iran should in no way get nuclear weapons. “The whole world is on the President’s Party. Almost all of humanity, except for the Iranian terrorist regime itself, agrees,” Leavitt answered the question of what she has had from tomorrow’s meeting of European foreign ministers with an Iranian departmental partner. The White House spokeswoman added that Trump is not afraid to use strength if necessary “but prefers diplomacy.
The White House believes that Iran could manage a nuclear bomb within a few weeks. “Iran has everything necessary to get a nuclear weapon. It only needs the decision of the highest leader. It would take several weeks to complete the production of this weapon,” Leavitt said.
The tension between Iran and Israel
Tehran is returning Israeli attacks for the seventh day, while the Iranian highest spiritual leader Ali Khamenei rejected potential negotiations with Washington and warned that if the United States attacks Iran, “undoubtedly suffer irreparable harm”.
US President Donald Trump had previously said that he and Iran had “had patience”, but stressed that it was never too late for negotiations. Israeli Prime Minister Bejanmina Netanyahu, in his own words, encouraged to continue the attacks. Iran described as completely defenseless and without air defense.
At the same time, Trump has not confirmed or refuted on Wednesday whether the United States Armed Forces would join Israeli attacks on the goals in Iran. “I can do it, I don’t have to do it. No one knows what to do,” he told reporters.
