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

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

His remarks present military action and a negotiated settlement as alternative paths in the dispute over Iran’s nuclear programme.

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

Despite that criticism, Pezeshkian stressed the need for another attempt to secure a deal, leaving open the possibility of renewed diplomacy.

The two positions highlight the tension surrounding any new negotiations: Trump is invoking the threat of force, while Pezeshkian is calling for a fresh effort despite his objections to Washington’s past conduct.
