In a significant escalation, U.S. President Donald Trump has reiterated the possibility of limited military strikes against Iran if the ongoing nuclear talks fail, stating that 'really bad things will happen' if no deal is reached. This warning comes as both nations prepare for a critical third round of negotiations in Geneva, mediated by Oman, scheduled for Thursday. Trump's decision regarding airstrikes will be influenced by the assessments of his special envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who will evaluate whether Iran is stalling on a nuclear deal. The president has not yet made a final determination on any strikes, as the administration awaits Iran's latest proposal this week (The Guardian, February 23, 2026).
