Trump Sets Two-Month Deadline for Iran to Negotiate New Nuclear Deal

The U.S. President's letter to Iran warns of potential military action if no agreement is reached, as Tehran evaluates its response and key allies prepare for high-level talks.

President Trump delivered a letter to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei proposing a two-month timeline for a new nuclear deal, emphasizing a diplomatic resolution but warning of 'other ways to resolve' the issue.
The letter, delivered through intermediaries including UAE President Mohammed Bin Zayed, outlined strict conditions and rejected open-ended negotiations.
Iran's Supreme Leader publicly criticized the letter as deceptive, but Iran's UN mission later hinted at conditional openness to talks addressing concerns about nuclear militarization.
The U.S. has reinstated its 'maximum pressure' campaign, including economic sanctions, and briefed allies such as Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE on its approach.
Upcoming high-level talks between the U.S. and Israel next week will focus on Iran's nuclear program and potential responses, as Iran's enriched uranium stockpile nears weapons-grade levels.
