Trump Threatens Strong Military Action if Iran Talks Fail, Suspends Attacks on Monday

According to an Axios interview on Monday, U.S. President Trump said he suspended military attacks on Iran to give diplomacy one final chance, but emphasized the window for negotiations would be short. Trump warned that if talks break down, the U.S. will resume and potentially expand military operations against Iran.

Negotiations are being mediated primarily by Oman and involve multiple countries including Qatar, Pakistan, and Egypt, as well as Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. The talks aim to secure a new agreement reopening the Strait of Hormuz and restarting comprehensive nuclear negotiations.
