The White House announced that former President Donald Trump will determine America's position in the escalating Iran–Israel conflict within the next two weeks. “Based on the fact that there'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.”

National Security spokesman emphasized that leadership remains committed to closely monitoring developments while preparing a strategic response .

During congressional testimony, military officials confirmed a range of U.S. military options remain on the table, from defensive deployments to direct strikes. Officials emphasized any intervention would be deliberate and measured to avoid broader war. Political analysts suggest Trump’s timeline is designed to maintain strategic ambiguity, preventing adversaries from anticipating any shift in U.S. posture.
