Weekly Commentary: Israel On Its Own - Trump Gives Iran 14 days (For Now)?
Dr. Aaron Lerner 19 June 2025

At the White House Press Briefing just now, Karoline Leavitt anno0unced
that President Trump within the next two week will make a decision whether
to join in the military activity against Iran based on if he thinks Iran is
serious about negotiations.

Leavitt then went on to say that President Turmp insists that Iran not have
enrichment.

Why in the world it takes another two weeks to see if Iran changes its mind
isn't clear.

Here is my hope against hope:

Mr. Trump said "within two weeks".

This Saturday , 20 June, is indeed "within the next two weeks." SO maybe he
is trying to trick them into complacency.

But if Mr. Trump actually wants to push off a decision by another two weeks
then, unfortunately, I think we cannot wait for him to move.

In that case, we have to do the job ourselves.

Not to worry - when we succeed, Mr. Trump will no doubt send out a message
taking credit for it - "We Did It!"

To be clear, I do not take lightly the heavy cost we may bear in order to
do the job at Fordow which America could do at a fraction of the human cost.

But, for all intents and purposes, unless there's a surprise over the
weekend , Mr. Trump is no longer relevant to dealing with Fordow.

Tucker Carlson may have emasculated President Trump.

But Carlson cannot stop the Jewish State from saving itself, and the world,
from Iran.
