Former United States president Donald Trump has issued a strong warning to Iran over the stalled nuclear negotiations, saying that time is rapidly running out for Tehran to reach an agreement and avoid serious consequences. In remarks that have reignited tensions surrounding the long-running dispute, Trump said Iran’s nuclear programme continues to advance while diplomatic efforts remain deadlocked. He reiterated his position that Iran must not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons, warning that failure to reach a deal would leave Washington with limited choices. Trump criticised the pace and direction of ongoing diplomatic engagement, accusing Iran of using negotiations as a delaying tactic while strengthening its nuclear capabilities. International observers have cautioned that continued uncertainty over the nuclear talks risks increasing tensions in the Middle East and beyond.
