US President Trump sets deadline for Iran nuclear talks
February 20, 2026 • Al Jazeera
US President Donald Trump has issued a warning to Iran regarding its nuclear program. According to reports, Trump has stated that Iran has 10 to 15 days to reach an agreement on the matter.
In a statement, Trump warned that if no deal is reached within this timeframe, “really bad things” will occur. The exact nature of these potential consequences was not specified.
Iran’s representative at the United Nations has responded to the warning, stating that Tehran will respond “decisively” to any military aggression. This response suggests that Iran views Trump’s statement as a threat and is prepared to take action in defense of its interests.
The situation remains tense, with both parties indicating a willingness to engage in negotiations. However, it appears that time is running out for an agreement to be reached.
Details of the warning were not provided, but it is clear that the US president has set a deadline for Iran’s nuclear program. The implications of this deadline and the potential consequences of failure are still unclear.
Iran’s envoy to the United Nations has emphasized the importance of diplomacy in resolving the issue. However, with the stated timeframe, it remains to be seen whether an agreement can be reached before the deadline expires.
