In a recent statement at the inaugural 'Board of Peace' meeting in Washington DC, President Donald Trump emphasized the urgency of reaching a nuclear deal with Iran within the next 10 days. He warned that "bad things" could happen if a significant agreement is not made during the ongoing negotiations. Trump's comments came in the context of escalating tensions, particularly following the US's earlier military actions that reportedly targeted Iran's nuclear sites.

The US has implemented a heavy military presence in the region, deploying aircraft carriers and warships as part of its strategy to pressure Iran. This show of force, combined with indirect negotiations reportedly facilitated by Omani officials in Geneva, seeks to compel the Iranian regime to limit its nuclear ambitions. Trump’s assertion that the US has already "totally decimated" parts of Iran's nuclear program reflects a hardline stance that has been echoed in previous administrations, suggesting a continued commitment to curtailing Iran's nuclear capabilities through both diplomatic and military means.

As negotiations evolve, the implications of Trump’s timeline could significantly shape the geopolitical landscape in the Middle East. Should Iran fail to reach an agreement, the resulting US military response could heighten tensions in the region, potentially leading to broader conflicts. Conversely, successful negotiations could pave the way for future diplomatic engagements, although skepticism remains high regarding Iran's willingness to comply with US demands and the impact of external mediators like Oman in facilitating these discussions.
