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.

U.S. involvement in Iran now appears imminent, with American naval vessels expected to arrive in the Middle East within two weeks. But should the U.S. intervene?

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the country’s nuclear facilities are peaceful and have been monitored by the International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations’s atomic agency.
