U.S. President Donald Trump has set a 30-day deadline to secure a nuclear agreement with Iran, warning of "very traumatic" consequences if talks fail. The ultimatum comes amid heightened military posturing, including plans to deploy a second aircraft carrier to the Middle East. ⚓️💥

Trump referenced last year's U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities during Israel's 2025 conflict with Tehran, signaling readiness for "phase two" military action. This follows recent indirect negotiations in Oman earlier this month, which yielded no breakthroughs despite both sides expressing willingness to continue dialogue.
Israel's Red Lines
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged stricter terms for any deal after meeting Trump in Washington. Key demands include halting uranium enrichment entirely and curbing Iran's regional influence through groups like Hezbollah. "If an agreement is reached, it must include elements vital to Israel," Netanyahu stated, reflecting what he called "general skepticism" about Tehran's intentions.
Iranian officials confirmed receiving U.S. messages via Omani intermediaries but emphasized needing more time for internal consultations. With U.S. naval assets massing in the region and Trump vowing to "go tough," the next four weeks could determine whether diplomacy prevails—or tensions explode. 🔥🌐
