Trump weighs strikes as he gives Iran ‘10 to 15 days’ to agree deal over nuclear programme - US politics live
The Guardian • • nation
Key Points:
- Reports indicate that former President Donald Trump is considering an early, limited military strike against Iran targeting specific government or military sites to pressure Iran into nuclear negotiations without provoking full-scale retaliation.
- Trump has set a public deadline of 10 to 15 days for Iran to reach a nuclear deal, warning that failure to do so will have "unfortunate" consequences, while the US continues a major military buildup in the Middle East including two aircraft carrier strike groups.
- Discussions among Trump’s aides have also included the possibility of larger-scale operations aimed at ending Iran’s nuclear program or destabilizing its government, with the US deploying significant military assets such as fighter jets, refueling tankers, and surveillance aircraft in the region.
