And good evening again from Tel Aviv, with President Trump saying he'll make a decision on striking Iran within two weeks, and the fighting here continues.

Today, despite a week of Israeli airstrikes, Iran showed that it still has enough missiles to cause serious destruction.

Four missiles hit early this morning. A strike in Ramat Gan to our east. Most businesses were closed at the time,

and a big apartment tower avoided a direct hit, so no lives were lost there. In the Negev,

Bersheva's main hospital sustained heavy damage from a strike. Several dozen people injured,

most of those light injuries. For its part, Israeli forces continued targeting nuclear

sites inside Iran, hitting the nuclear reactor complex in Iraq southwest of Tehran. The reactor

there can make the bomb material plutonia most famously used in the Fat Man device dropped on

Nagasaki. It's also above ground and vulnerable to airstrikes. Other sites, most notably Fordo, not so vulnerable,

which is why today's announcement from the White House is so important.

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."

That's a quote directly from the president for all of you today.

Well, she was also asked about the as yet unreconsiled gap between the president and

the US intelligence community on how close between the President and the U.S.

intelligence community on how close Iran is to getting the bomb.

When the president says Iran is very close to a nuclear weapon, is he relying on U.S.

intelligence or intelligence sharing from an ally to make that assessment?

It is a fact, and the United States government maintains this fact, that Iran has never been closer to obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Now, never been closer is interesting. It conveys a certain sense of urgency without giving an explicit time frame.
