Trump Issues Iran Two-Month Deadline for New Nuclear Deal
In a letter to Ayatollah Khamenei, Trump warns of potential military actions if no agreement is reached within the timeframe.
- President Trump sent a letter to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei proposing negotiations for a new nuclear deal with a strict two-month deadline.
- The letter, delivered through intermediaries in the UAE, emphasized diplomacy but warned of 'other ways to resolve' the dispute if Iran does not engage.
- Iran publicly criticized the proposal as deceptive but left open the possibility of talks focused on addressing nuclear militarization concerns.
- The U.S. has resumed its 'maximum pressure' campaign on Iran, with sanctions and warnings of military consequences if negotiations fail.
- Iran's enriched uranium stockpile, sufficient for multiple nuclear weapons if further enriched, remains a key concern for the U.S. and its allies.
