The clock is officially ticking in Geneva as the United States and Iran begin what many call “last-chance” talks. President Donald Trump has set a strict 10-day deadline for a deal, warning that “bad things will happen” if negotiations fail. With the largest U.S. military force in decades currently in the Middle East, the pressure is at a boiling point. Envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are meeting with Iranian officials through mediators to see if they can find a way to avoid a major military conflict.
The goal is to stop Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for lifting sanctions that have hurt its economy. While Iran’s Foreign Minister says a deal is “within reach,” the two sides are still arguing over how much uranium Iran is allowed to keep. People all over the world are watching closely because if these talks collapse, the risk of airstrikes becomes very real. It is a historic moment where diplomacy is the only thing standing between peace and a new war.
