Trump Gives Iran Two-Week Deadline on Agreement Amid Regional Escalation
The U.S. President has set a two-week window for a decision on the agreement, while Iran demands concrete actions over written pledges.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Washington will reach a decisive conclusion regarding Iran within two weeks, stating that his administration will determine its path forward either through further measures or by validating the agreement.
In response, Iranian official Ali Bagheri emphasized Tehran's rejection of mere written commitments, insisting that tangible, practical steps must be taken before any new diplomatic path can be pursued.
These developments occur against the backdrop of a Qatar-led diplomatic effort to de-escalate regional tensions. On the ground, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard reported the downing of two drones over Qeshm Island, while an oil tanker reported an explosion near the coast of Oman.
Politically, the U.S. Secretary of Defense is facing mounting pressure regarding the management of the war, while Moscow and Tehran have held discussions to strengthen security ties and explore the development of gas pipeline projects.
