Trump to decide on US action in Israel-Iran conflict within two weeks, White House says
- On June 20, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that a decision on whether to directly involve the U.S. military in the Israel-Iran conflict would be made in the coming fortnight.
- The announcement follows escalating violence after last week's Israeli attacks on Iranian nuclear and military sites and Iran's retaliatory missile strikes in Israel, including a hospital strike wounding at least 240 people.
- Iran’s Supreme Leader rejected U.S. calls for surrender, warning any American military intervention would cause irreparable damage, while Iran’s foreign minister will meet European officials to discuss diplomatic options.
- Trump expressed that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons and called for its unconditional surrender, while stating "We're not looking for a long-term war" and noting a "substantial chance" for negotiations may arise.
- The situation implies possible U.S. escalation or diplomatic efforts soon, as European leaders urge de-escalation and Germany prepares nuclear talks with Iran amid ongoing exchanges of missile strikes between the two nations.
