US President Donald Trump has issued a mixed assessment of ongoing negotiations with Iran, stating that things are 'going well' and that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. However, he set a firm deadline for a deal and has now signaled that if no agreement is reached, the United States may resume bombing Iran. This threat escalates the pressure on Tehran as the Wednesday deadline approaches, directly linking military action to the outcome of the diplomatic talks.
