Trump sets 10 day deadline for Iran nuclear deal after second round of talks

The second round of negotiations between the United States and Iran over Tehran’s nuclear program has concluded, with U.S. President Donald Trump warning that Iran has 10 days to reach an agreement or face possible military consequences.

Speaking after the talks, Trump said Washington expects a clear commitment from Tehran to curb its nuclear activities. He cautioned that failure to reach a deal within the set timeframe could result in military action, escalating tensions in an already volatile region.

Meanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi described the discussions held in Geneva as constructive and expressed optimism that a framework agreement could be achieved soon. He indicated that both sides had made progress, though key differences remain unresolved.

Despite the diplomatic engagement, the United States has increased its military presence in the Gulf region. According to U.S. officials, the deployment includes two aircraft carriers and additional fighter jets, a move seen as a signal of deterrence while negotiations continue.

The renewed talks come amid long standing international concern over Iran’s nuclear ambitions and regional security. Any potential agreement is expected to have significant implications for global energy markets and geopolitical stability, including for countries such as Canada that maintain diplomatic and trade interests in the Middle East.
