Al Jazeera senior analyst Marwan Bishara says Trump may still carry out strikes on Iran within the two-week deadline that his spokesperson just announced.

“He could actually use that as a pretext in order to camouflage whatever his intentions are and attack tomorrow,” Bishara said.

He also said the US president could be pausing his decision to allow talks between Iranian and European officials tomorrow and see where they may lead.

“If one has to over-interpret, I would say the following: He’s giving the Europeans some time so that everyone could save face,” he said.
