US-Iran decision looming in next two weeks, says WH: Fox News Politics Newsletter, June 19, 2025
President Donald Trump is set to make a decision on whether the U.S. will become involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran within the next two weeks, according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. Leavitt quoted Trump as saying, “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 within the next two weeks.”
This decision comes amidst escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, with Israel launching a military campaign against Iran. The conflict has raised concerns about the possibility of a wider regional conflict and the potential for a high-impact cyberattack targeting the energy grid in the U.S.
The Trump administration is also facing challenges on the domestic front, with the Department of Justice suing Kentucky over its policy of offering discounted college tuition to illegal immigrants. In addition, Capitol Hill representatives are grappling with the issue of family safety following a series of killings in Minnesota.
On the international stage, the Trump administration is facing a decision on the controversial UN force that failed to disarm Hezbollah, as well as navigating tensions with Arab allies over Iran’s actions in the region. Meanwhile, in cities across America, law enforcement officials are cracking down on rioters and individuals involved in election fraud cases.
As the situation continues to unfold, it is clear that the Trump administration faces a series of complex challenges both at home and abroad. Stay tuned for the latest updates on the Trump administration and Congress on FoxNews.com.
