US President Donald Trump will decide within two weeks whether America will directly intervene in the escalating Iran-Israel conflict, the White House announced. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump believes there’s a “substantial chance” of negotiations with Iran soon. The statement eases immediate war fears and opens a brief diplomatic window. Iran’s deputy foreign minister warned US involvement would “cause hell.” Meanwhile, over 270 people have been injured in Israel from Iran’s recent missile barrage. As Europe prepares to host Iran for talks in Switzerland, Washington is maintaining strategic ambiguity, while Trump insists Iran must never acquire a nuclear weapon. (PC: BBC)
