Trump Weighs Iran Strike as Tensions Escalate

President Trump will decide within two weeks whether the U.S. will take direct military action against Iran, as the administration weighs ongoing negotiations and the potential for diplomacy. The White House has made clear that Iran must halt uranium enrichment and not obtain nuclear weapons for any deal to proceed. Trump’s repeated use of a 'two-week' decision timeline on major issues has drawn scrutiny regarding the administration’s decisiveness. Heightened tensions have led Iranian lawmakers to warn of closing the Strait of Hormuz if the U.S. intervenes, especially in support of Israel. Commercial shipping is already avoiding Iranian waters due to increased regional risk. Both diplomatic and military responses remain under consideration as the situation evolves.
