US President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to the Iranian regime, stating that the current window for negotiations with the United States is rapidly closing. Trump indicated that a period of 10 to 15 days is likely the “absolute maximum” timeframe for reaching an agreement.
The President’s remarks came in response to a reporter’s question regarding his earlier threats that “very bad things” would happen to Iran if it failed to secure a deal concerning its nuclear program, according to the Associated Press.
“I’m not going to talk to you about that,” Trump said. “Either we reach a deal, or it’s going to be very unfortunate for them.” He added that the 10-to-15-day window should be sufficient for Iran to come to terms, stating, “I think that’s plenty of time.”
This escalation follows a January warning from the White House, which declared that the US is “seriously prepared” to use military force if Tehran does not commit to a “fair deal” involving the complete abandonment of its nuclear weapons program.
