In the lead-up to nuclear negotiations with Iran set to take place in Geneva this week, U.S. President Donald Trump issued a warning to Iran about the 'consequences of not reaching an agreement.' Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump emphasized his intention to be indirectly involved in these discussions, signaling his active interest in the negotiations. He expressed skepticism about Iran's desire to face the fallout from failing to secure a deal, aiming to apply pressure before the talks commence.

The talks will involve delegations from the U.S. and Iran, scheduled for Tuesday in Switzerland, where Oman is mediating the discussions. Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, will participate, reflecting the administration's close engagement with the negotiations. Trump's remarks also highlighted his broader strategy regarding Iran, suggesting potential military intervention should Iran continue actions that threaten regional stability, particularly in light of the violence against regime-critical demonstrators in the country.

The ongoing nuclear issue remains a contentious point, especially as the U.S. and several European nations suspect Iran of seeking to develop nuclear weapons, a claim that Iran has consistently denied. As the negotiations approach, the stakes are high for all parties involved, especially with Trump's history of strong rhetoric towards Iran and the potential for significant geopolitical implications depending on the outcomes of these discussions.
