Trump says he will decide on Iran strikes within two weeks

US President Donald Trump said Friday that he will decide within two weeks whether to order strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, adding another layer of uncertainty to an already volatile Middle East crisis.

The statement comes as tensions remain high across the region, with diplomacy under strain and the risk of wider military escalation still a concern. The prospect of U.S. strikes raises the stakes not only for Iran’s leadership, but also for civilians who would bear the consequences of any expansion in hostilities.

Reuters reported that Trump did not announce an immediate decision, but instead set a short window for choosing his next step. The comments suggest Washington is weighing military pressure alongside other options as the confrontation around Iran’s nuclear program intensifies.

Any attack on nuclear facilities could trigger broader retaliation and deepen instability across the region. For ordinary people in Iran and neighboring countries, the threat of escalation means more fear, more disruption, and a growing danger that political brinkmanship turns into civilian suffering.
