The President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced that he will make a decision on Iran "in the next two weeks," amid speculation about a possible resumption of diplomatic negotiations with Tehran.
The message was conveyed this Thursday by her press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, through an official statement released by the government account Rapid Response 47 on the social media platform X.
"Based on the fact that there is a substantial possibility of negotiations—whether they take place or not—with Iran in the near future, the president will make his decision on whether to engage or not in the next two weeks," Leavitt stated.
The spokesperson also confirmed that there is active correspondence between the United States and Iran.
"We have participated in six rounds of negotiations with them, both directly and indirectly," he added.
When reporters asked Leavitt about the conditions that would be considered for a possible agreement, she was clear: “No uranium enrichment. Iran cannot, under any circumstances, achieve a nuclear weapon. The president has been very clear about that.”
Leavitt also defended Trump's stance in favor of a diplomatic approach, provided there are guarantees.
"If there is a chance for diplomacy, the president will always seize it — but he is not afraid to use force if necessary," he stated.
Finally, he highlighted the leadership of the president in national security: “Trust President Trump. He has an incredible instinct and kept the United States and the world safe during his first term.”
The statements come at a time of heightened tension in the Middle East, marked by cross-attacks between Israel and Iran, the collapse of the original nuclear deal, and the search for new diplomatic avenues to prevent a regional escalation.
This Wednesday, the possibility of a U.S. military offensive against Iran returned to the forefront of international debate following statements from President Donald Trump, who asserted that he had not yet made a final decision regarding direct intervention in the conflict between Israel and Tehran.
"I have ideas about what to do, but I haven't made a final decision because things are changing," Trump said from the Oval Office during a press conference that had been scheduled for Tuesday but was postponed until Wednesday afternoon, awaiting developments in the Middle East.
Earlier, on Tuesday, Trump stated that his administration knew the whereabouts of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, and described him as an "easy target," but dismissed "at least for now," making the decision to kill him.
In this context, the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, issued a stern warning to the American president, following his recent threats regarding military intervention.
