Trump issues 12-hour ultimatum to Iran; threatens military action if no deal reached
U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a final ultimatum to Iran, demanding agreement to unspecified terms within 12 hours or facing military strikes from Washington. The deadline represents an escalation in Trump's pressure campaign against Tehran, with less than a day remaining for negotiations. This development significantly raises tensions in the Middle East and carries major implications for global stability, energy markets, and U.S. military posture in the region. The situation remains fluid with ongoing negotiations occurring under extreme time pressure.
