While Trump "wants to see if a deal can be struck," Leavitt said, she warned Tehran that the president was prepared to take military action, if needed.
"I would remind the Iranian regime that the President has many options at his disposal, aside from diplomacy as the commander-in-chief of the most powerful military in the history of the world," Leavitt said.
White House says ICE agents outside polling locations in November elections is 'very silly hypothetical'
Asked about former Trump aide Steve Bannon saying that ICE agents could surround polling stations in November's midterm elections, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed the question as absurd.
Leavitt said she "can't guarantee" that a federal agent wouldn't be at a polling location during elections, but she rejected the premise without necessarily dismissing the concerns.

"I mean, that's, frankly, a very silly hypothetical question," Leavitt said. "But what I can tell you is, I haven't heard the president discuss any formal plans to put ICE outside of polling locations. It's a disingenuous question."
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a Democrat, has previously raised the deployment of federal agents as a risk in the midterm elections.
Trump likely to watch Kid Rock instead of Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show
The conservative group Turning Point USA announced it will be offering an alternative halftime show to NBC's, which will feature Bad Bunny, one of the most-streamed artists on the planet. The artist has also been a tough critic of Trump's immigration policies.
Turning Point has tapped Kid Rock, a Trump backer, to headline what it's dubbing "The All-American Halftime Show." It will streamed on the group's YouTube channel.
Asked which show Trump would be broadcasting at his Mar-a-Lago resort, where he spends many weekends, Leavitt said Trump "would much prefer a Kid Rock performance over Bad Bunny."
