President Donald Trump issued Iran a decisive deadline to reach a nuclear deal, warning that failure could trigger U.S. military action. The ultimatum was delivered during the inaugural meeting of his newly formed “Board of Peace,” which is now entangled in escalating U.S.-Iran tensions.
The U.S. has surged aircraft carriers (USS Gerald R. Ford and USS Abraham Lincoln) into the Persian Gulf, while Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei insists its military capabilities are vital deterrence. Indirect talks in Geneva have stalled, with Tehran refusing to acknowledge U.S. red lines.
Lawmakers invoked the War Powers Act to challenge Trump’s authority to unilaterally wage war, citing catastrophic risks. Meanwhile, Iran threatened retaliation against U.S. bases if attacked, and regional allies pledged $7B for Gaza – overshadowed by looming conflict.
The collapse of U.S.-Iran negotiations risks regional war, with Russia and China backing Iran and Israel’s survival in question. Trump’s Board of Peace aims to replace “ineffective” UN frameworks, but the next 10 days could determine whether diplomacy or war prevails.
