USA-Iran LIVE: As a large US military gains strength in the Middle East, high-level diplomacy between Washington and Tehran is entering a critical phase. With indirect talks scheduled for tomorrow in Geneva, tensions are rising amid threats, warnings and visible military maneuvers.
Ultimatum: 5 days left
Donald Trump tightened the clock on Tehran, saying Iran has roughly “10 to 15 days” to strike a deal – just days before possible US action. He has repeatedly insisted that Iran will never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon and has accused it of resuming weapons-related activities.
Washington is demanding zero uranium enrichment, along with curbs on Iran’s ballistic missile program and regional proxy network – terms Tehran has steadfastly rejected.
Army ready
The US has created one of its biggest regional powers in decades. The USS Gerald R. Ford is headed to the Middle East, joining the USS Abraham Lincoln as part of what Trump described as an “army” near Iran’s coast.
Iran warning: SOTU response
After Trump’s State of the Union address, Iranian officials backed down sharply. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei accused Washington of spreading “big lies” and compared American rhetoric to Nazi-era propaganda. Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf warned that any strike during the negotiations would bring a “solid blow” from Iran.
Tehran has also threatened US bases across the region, raising fears of a wider conflict.
Geneva will act tomorrow
US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are expected to meet with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in the third round of talks brokered by Oman. While Tehran says a deal is “within reach”, deep differences remain over enrichment and missiles.
