President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he would take up to two weeks to decide whether to join Israel in attacking Iran, as the world waits to see if the U.S. military will involve itself in another costly war in the Middle East.
Trump's pause was relayed to the media by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
"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," said Leavitt, quoting the president directly.
