The geopolitical tension between the United States and Iran has escalated as President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to Iran, stating that 'bad things' will happen if a deal is not reached regarding Iran's nuclear program. According to The Frontier Post, Trump emphasized the urgency by saying 'time is running out' and highlighted the deployment of a 'tremendous force' including an aircraft carrier to the Middle East. This development follows a period of heightened tensions marked by anti-government protests in Iran and the subsequent crackdown by Iranian authorities. Dawn reports that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has responded by ordering the start of nuclear talks with the United States, signaling a potential diplomatic path despite the looming threat of military action.
