The U.S. has significantly increased military presence in the Middle East, including aircraft carriers and destroyers, to pressure Iran over its nuclear program and regional activities.
U.S. President Donald Trump has warned Iran to either agree to a new nuclear deal that prevents nuclear weapons development or face possible military action.
Iran’s Position
Iran's leadership firmly rejects negotiations under threat, saying diplomacy must be based on mutual respect and with no coercion.
Tehran insists it is ready for a fair, equitable nuclear deal focused on peaceful technology, but will vigorously resist any U.S. attack.
Broader Tensions
The clash over Iran’s nuclear program is tied to wider issues — sanctions, Iran’s ballistic missiles, and regional influence (including proxy groups).
The U.S. and allies have labeled Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization, further escalating political pressure.
Diplomatic and Regional Context
Iran’s foreign minister is engaging regional partners (e.g., Turkey) as tensions remain high.
Past indirect talks (e.g., in Oman) showed some engagement possibility — but talks have stalled amid current tensions.
Bottom Line:
The U.S. is pushing Iran toward a stricter nuclear deal and broader regional curbs. Iran is resisting this pressure, refusing talks under military threat while signaling openness to a fair agreement — a standoff that keeps the Middle East on edge.
