"4 UAVs launched from Iran were intercepted," it said.

Two-week Window For Diplomacy

Earlier,  President Trump said he would make his final decision on whether to strike Iran in the “next two weeks,” because he said he is still hoping for negotiations.

“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,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters, reading a statement directly from Trump during her daily briefing.

The statement of Trump left a two-week window for diplomatic efforts by Europe to resolve the crisis with Iran.
