WASHINGTON − President Donald Trump said there was a "substantial chance" of U.S. negotiations with Iran and that he would decide within two weeks whether diplomacy keeps America out of the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Thursday that President Donald Trump will make a decision on the U.S. becoming involved in Israel's conflict with Iran within the next two weeks.

Back-and-forth attacks between Israel and Iran continued overnight as the conflict entered its seventh day, with an inactive Iranian nuclear reactor and an Israeli hospital among the sites hit.
