Karoline Leavitt Provides Big Update On Israel-Iran Conflict

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt provided a massive update on the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel.

During a press briefing on Thursday, Leavitt revealed that President Donald Trump has not made a final decision on using “bunker buster” bombs on Iran’s Fordow facility and will wait roughly “two weeks” to leave room to negotiate.

“I have a message directly from the president, and I quote. ‘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,’” Leavitt said.

President Trump told reporters Wednesday that the Iranian government has requested a direct meeting with his administration and is prepared to send a delegation to the White House.

Meanwhile, as Israel continues targeting military and nuclear sites within Iran, it has urged the U.S. to strike the Fordow Nuclear Enrichment Center. Lacking the bunker-buster bombs necessary to destroy the facility, which is deeply embedded inside a mountain, Israel has sought assistance from the United States.
