Trump Raises Prospect of Imminent Strike on Iran as Pezeshkian Blames US for Failed Talks

Trump has raised the prospect of an imminent strike on Iran or a lasting agreement that would prevent Tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.

His remarks frame military action and a permanent nuclear deal as alternative paths, putting the question of renewed negotiations alongside the threat of force.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, meanwhile, blamed Washington for the failure of previous negotiations, holding the United States responsible for derailing efforts to reach an agreement.

Despite that criticism, Pezeshkian stressed the need to make another attempt at securing a deal. His position leaves room for renewed diplomacy even as the two sides remain divided over why earlier talks failed.
