Trump warns Iran of possible military action as nuclear talks stall

U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a renewed warning to Iran, saying time is running out for Tehran to decide on a nuclear agreement, while raising the prospect of American military action if talks fail. The comments add fresh tension to already strained relations between the two countries.

In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump said a large U.S. naval force is moving toward Iran. He claimed the deployment is bigger than a previous fleet sent toward Venezuela and suggested it could act with speed and force if required. The White House has not released further details about the scale or timing of the reported movement.

Iran rejected the threat-based approach, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stating that Tehran will not negotiate under pressure. Iranian officials have also warned that any U.S. attack would be met with a strong response, raising fears of a wider confrontation.

The escalating rhetoric is being closely watched by allies and global markets. Analysts say a conflict could disrupt regional security and have serious consequences for global oil supplies, particularly affecting energy-importing countries, including Canada.

European diplomats have cautioned that the situation could worsen by the end of the week if no diplomatic progress is made, urging both sides to step back from actions that could trigger further instability.
