Trump weighs strikes as he gives Iran ‘10 to 15 days’ to agree deal over nuclear programme
Trump signals possible strikes, setting a 10 to 15 day window for Iran to strike a nuclear deal. He says the U.S. has amassed military assets in the Middle East capable of supporting an aerial bombing campaign against Iran.
The rhetoric highlights renewed pressure on Tehran as negotiations over its nuclear program unfold. The administration suggests leverage through potential military action to coax concessions from Iran.
Analysts warn of heightened risk of escalation in the region, with potential civilian and civilian infrastructure impacts if tensions spill over.
