Donald Trump will make a decision on whether the US will enter the Israel-Iran conflict "in the next two weeks", as the White House slowed its timeline for any potential involvement.
Speaking from Washington on Thursday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt urged the public to "trust in President Trump".
Reciting words from the President from the White House briefing room, Leavitt continued: “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 in the next two weeks.”
It comes amid escalating tensions between Iran and Israel following ongoing retaliatory strikes.
The press conference saw the White House halt speculation surrounding potential US involvement in the conflict, with Leavitt repeating the 'two week' response to all questions on potential military involvement.
As world lets out a deep breath, Simon Marks is joined by military analyst Andrew Fox to discuss.
