Trump presses Iran to make 'meaningful' deal, appears to set 10-day deadline

President Trump demands a meaningful nuclear deal with Iran within 10 days or warns of possible military action amid a major U.S. military buildup in the Middle East.

  • On Thursday , U.S. President Donald Trump warned Iran it must reach a deal or `Otherwise bad things happen,` and said `You're going to be finding out over the next probably 10 days,` at the Board of Peace, Washington.
  • The U.S. military buildup in the Middle East includes two aircraft carriers, fighter jets and refuelling tankers, giving Trump strike options and discretion for a sustained campaign, officials say.
  • On Tuesday, Iranian and U.S. negotiators met and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said they agreed on `guiding principles`, but White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Wednesday the sides remain apart and Iran resists discussing issues beyond the atomic file.
  • Market and diplomatic fallout is visible as oil prices rise and a Russian corvette joins Iranian drills in the Gulf of Oman, while Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk warns Poles may only have hours to evacuate.
  • Diplomatic contacts planned later this month include U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio meeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on February 28 as Washington demands Iran end uranium enrichment, missile development, proxy support, and force against protesters.
