There is a chance negotiations could still work, she said:
Concerning the current situation in Iran, there has been much speculation in the media regarding the president’s decision-making and the potential direct involvement of the United States.
In response to these speculations, I have a message directly from the president. He stated, “Given the likelihood of upcoming negotiations with Iran, I will decide whether to participate or not in the next two weeks.”
That’s a quote directly from the president for all of you today.

In response to a question from a reporter, she also clarified just what an acceptable deal would look like:
The president is firm on the stance that Iran should not enrich uranium and must not acquire a nuclear weapon. He has emphasized this position clearly. Additionally, the proposal made by United States Special Envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, to the Iranians is considered realistic and acceptable within its terms, which is why the president has forwarded it to them.
