đš GEOPOLITICAL ALERT: U.S.âIRAN TENSIONS ESCALATE
President Donald Trump has reportedly issued a 10-day deadline to Iran, warning that failure to reach an agreement could result in severe consequences.
With U.S. carriers, warships, and fighter jets already positioned across the Middle East, this ultimatum sharply increases short-term geopolitical risk.
Diplomatic channels remain open â but deadlines compress negotiations and reduce room for error. In high-stakes environments, miscalculations can escalate rapidly.
