Trump told the Board of Peace, Trump said that talks with Iran have been 'very good' but historically difficult.
US President Donald Trump has said Iran has roughly 10–15 days to reach a meaningful agreement with the United States over its nuclear programme before “bad things happen,” raising global concern about the future of negotiations and regional tensions.
Speaking at the inaugural meeting of his Board of Peace in Washington, DC, Trump said the outcome of talks with Tehran should become clear in the next eight to 15 days. He stressed that while negotiations “are going well,” Tehran must commit to a credible deal or the US might take further action.
“Otherwise bad things happen,” Trump said.
The comments come amid a major US military buildup in the Middle East, including the deployment of aircraft carriers and fighter jets, heightening fears of possible escalation if diplomacy fails.
Trump cited previous US air strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities as having reduced Tehran’s capabilities, and said further steps could be considered if no agreement is reached. He did not specify what actions might follow the deadline.
DIPLOMACY CONTINUES DESPITE WARNINGS
Recent indirect negotiations between US and Iranian representatives have shown signs of progress, but key disagreements remain unresolved. Tehran maintains its nuclear programme is peaceful, while Washington is demanding strict limits and enhanced oversight.
Iran’s Supreme Leader and senior officials have responded defiantly to Washington’s warnings, underscoring the challenges facing both sides.
GLOBAL IMPLICATIONS
The international community is closely watching the narrow window for diplomacy, as regional partners and global powers monitor whether talks will succeed or tensions will escalate further.
