Trump Ultimatum as Iran Deal Deadline Looms, Artemis II Crew Heads Home
President Trump issues deadline for Iran deal, while Artemis II astronauts begin journey back to Earth. Exclusive details on the high-stakes diplomacy and historic space mission.
President Trump issued a stern ultimatum to Iran last night, demanding the country accept a new nuclear deal by 8:00 p.m. ET tonight or face severe consequences. Speaking from the White House, the President warned that if Iran does not comply, it will face the "full force" of the United States military.
Trump's comments come as the deadline for an Iran nuclear deal rapidly approaches. The Trump administration has been engaged in tense negotiations with Iranian officials, hoping to secure an agreement that would curb Tehran's nuclear ambitions in exchange for the lifting of crippling economic sanctions.
Tensions between the U.S. and Iran have been simmering for years, with both sides accusing the other of aggression and bad faith. Trump has made the Iran issue a central focus of his foreign policy, vowing to take a tougher stance than his predecessor, Barack Obama, who spearheaded the original nuclear deal in 2015.
