"I have a message directly from the president, and I quote, 'Based 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 read. "That's a quote directly from the president for all of you today."

Leavitt went on to urge Americans to trust the president's instincts in Iran. Throughout his decade in politics, Trump has not wavered in his commitment to preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

"President Trump has incredible instincts, and President Trump kept America and the world safe in his first term as president, in implementing a peace through strength, foreign policy, agenda and with respect to Iran," Leavitt said. "Nobody should be surprised by the president's position that Iran absolutely cannot obtain a nuclear weapon. He's been unequivocally clear about this for decades, not just as president, not just as a presidential candidate, but also as a private citizen."

Trump's dedication to protecting Americans from the Iranian regime was consistent before he even ran for president, Leavitt said.

"In 2011, President Trump said, 'America's primary goal with Iran must be to destroy its nuclear ambitions. We cannot allow this radical regime to acquire a nuclear weapon that they will either use or hand off to terrorists.' In 2015, the president said, 'The problem is that Iran poses an existential threat to Israel, our Middle Eastern allies, and the United States,'" Leavitt said. "And of course, the president has repeated that in his first term as president and his second term as president as well." Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
