U.S. President Donald Trump has drawn a red line in the sand, warning Iran it has a 'maximum' of two weeks to avoid potential U.S. military action. The ultimatum comes amid escalating tensions over Iran's nuclear program and follows failed EU-led mediation efforts. 🌍⚡
What's the Deal?
Trump told reporters Friday he could decide on airstrikes before the two-week deadline expires if he sees no progress, bluntly stating: 'Europe is not going to be able to help in this.' The remarks came hours after EU and Iranian officials held tense talks lasting just 3.5 hours – a diplomatic Hail Mary that appears to have fumbled. 🤝💥
Israel's Role in the Drama
In a twist that's got analysts buzzing 🧠💬, Trump openly endorsed Israel's right to attack Iran, declaring he wouldn't stop them because 'Israel was winning.' This raises stakes in a conflict that's increasingly resembling a geopolitical chess match with real-world consequences.
Why the Countdown Matters ⏰
While Thursday's statement initially seemed to open a negotiation window, Friday's comments suggest Trump's patience is thinner than a TikTok attention span. The clock is ticking for Tehran to show 'substantial' moves toward dismantling its nuclear program – but what constitutes progress remains as clear as a blurry Instagram story.
