The White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on June 19, 2025, that US President Donald Trump will decide within the next two weeks whether the United States will join Israel in its ongoing war with Iran, citing a continued possibility of diplomatic engagement with Tehran.

Amid the ongoing tension between Iran and Israel, US President Donald Trump is seen taking too much interest amid the conflict. Speculations about US President Donald Trump’s involvement amid the war-like situation between Iran and Israel have been a point of concern.

Addressing a briefing at the White House, Leavitt read out a statement from President Trump, who acknowledged the potential for diplomatic negotiations despite the escalating conflict in the Middle East.
