According to U.S. officials cited by Axios, Israel is pressuring the United States to launch an attack on Iran, but Donald Trump is reluctant to go to war.
US Officials say no one has succeeded in convincing Trump to authorize a strike. Initially, Trump supported airstrikes during mass protests in Iran, but he now views military intervention as a mistake.
American leader also reportedly sees the release of the Epstein files as a way to counter Israeli pressure.
According to an AFP report, the United States is still planning talks with Iranian officials this week, the White House said Tuesday, even after a US warplane shot down an Iranian drone that approached an American aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea.
"I just spoke with special envoy (Steve) Witkoff, and these talks as of right now are still scheduled," Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters, adding that they were due to happen "later this week."
"President Trump is always wanting to pursue diplomacy first, but obviously it takes two to tango," Leavitt said outside the West Wing.
The meeting between Witkoff, a businessman whom Trump has appointed as his roving global conflict negotiator, and Iranian officials will "probably" take place in Turkey, a source close to the issue told AFP.
The US military said earlier that an F-35C stealth fighter jet shot down the Iranian drone that "aggressively" drew near to the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier on Tuesday.
Trump's spokeswoman added that the US president was keeping open the possibility of military action against Iran, with a large number of US warships now in the region.
"Of course, the president has always a range of options on the table, and that includes the use of military force," Leavitt told Fox News in a separate interview.
She added that "the Iranians know that better than anyone," referring to US military strikes that hit Iran's nuclear program last year.
However, a Tehran source, Iran’s foreign ministry said on Tuesday the location and timing of talks with the United States are not complicated matters and should not be turned into a media issue, adding that consultations about the venue are ongoing and details will be announced once finalized.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei thanked all "friendly countries that, out of concern and goodwill, have worked to help create the conditions for a diplomatic process."
“In principle, the venue and timing of talks are not complicated issues and should not be used as a pretext for media games," Baghaei said.
"Turkey and Oman, as well as some other countries in the region, have declared their readiness to host the talks, which we consider highly valuable."
"Consultations to determine the venue are also ongoing, and information will be announced as soon as a final decision is made," he added.
