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.

President Trump is reportedly considering whether the U.S. should join Israel in strikes against Iran’s nuclear sites in an effort to stop the country from building nuclear weapons, but some of the president’s strongest allies in Congress are calling for restraint as Israel’s strikes and Iran’s retaliations have killed hundreds in both countries.
