00:00U.S. President Donald Trump has set a two-week deadline to decide whether America will join

00:09Israel's war against Iran.

00:11Based on the fact that there's a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not

00:16take place with Iran in the near future, I will make my decision whether or not to go

00:22within the next two weeks.

00:23That's a quote directly from the President for all of you today.

00:27Israel launched a wave of air and drone strikes on Iran in June 2025, claiming within a week

00:33to have disabled 120 Iranian air defense systems.

00:37Israel claimed it has no choice but to launch the attacks, believing Iran has accelerated

00:42its nuclear weapons program with the aim of destroying the Israeli state.

00:46Iran retaliated with ballistic missile strikes, with about 10% so far evading Israel's sophisticated

00:53Iron Dome defense system.

00:55The U.S. currently has up to 50,000 troops stationed across 19 Middle Eastern sites, as well as

01:01forces in Cyprus and Bahrain, all of which could be mobilized against Iran.

01:05But the fallout of such a move, and whether it stands to escalate conflict in the region,

01:11rests on the decision Donald Trump is expected to make in July 2025.

01:14I mean, you don't know that I'm going to even do it, you don't know, I may do it, I may

01:19not do it, I mean nobody knows what I'm going to do, I can tell you this, that Iran's got

01:25a lot of trouble, and they want to negotiate.
