As tensions rise, President Trump is caught between pursuing diplomatic talks with Iran regarding its nuclear program and a potential military strike. The White House has consistently warned Iran that it would be wise to reach a deal as Trump considers military options, with military assets being deployed to the region. Recent statements indicate that Trump is reserving all options and is involved indirectly in the ongoing negotiations. He has discussed a potential timeline for strikes, even suggesting they could occur soon if diplomatic efforts fail. The situation remains precarious, with both sides facing pressures as negotiations continue and military presence intensifies.
