U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Iran, saying the country will face a 'very bad time' if a peace agreement is not reached soon. He made the remarks in an interview with French broadcaster BFM TV, emphasizing that reaching a deal would be in both Washington’s and Tehran’s interests.

According to the report, while Tehran confirmed receiving new negotiation messages from the Trump administration, it expressed deep mistrust about Washington’s intentions. Amid this diplomatic deadlock, U.S. media outlets have reported that Trump could consider a major military operation to break the stalemate, with his top advisers already preparing a framework for renewed military action.

The New York Times reported that Trump might take a significant decision on the Iran crisis at any time. The report also recalled that the United States had previously carried out two military strikes on Iran during earlier nuclear program negotiations.
