Iran has been given a stark warning by President Trump: engage in nuclear development talks within two weeks or risk possible U.S. military action alongside Israel. This firm posture gives diplomacy one last chance before deploying military force and reaffirms America’s commitment to preventing a nuclear-armed Iran. Trump’s strategy shows that his administration is prepared to use force to achieve peace instead of constant appeasement.
Trump’s Two-Week Nuclear Ultimatum to Iran
President Trump announced he will make a final decision on U.S. military action against Iran within the next two weeks, leaving a small window for potential negotiations. The White House confirmed that Iran currently possesses all necessary components for nuclear weapons development, with only Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s final decision standing between Iran and nuclear capability.
For 25 years, Netanyahu has persistently claimed that Iran was a mere "few weeks away" from acquiring a nuclear bomb.
Yet, intelligence reports, including those from the IAEA, have consistently found no evidence that Iran was pursuing nuclear weapons.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized the serious nature of the situation during a recent briefing about the administration’s approach. The Trump administration has indicated openness to diplomatic solutions while simultaneously preparing military contingencies should Iran refuse to abandon its nuclear ambitions.
Israel’s Ongoing Military Campaign
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has maintained his country’s right to act independently against Iranian nuclear sites regardless of U.S. involvement. Israel has already conducted multiple strategic airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities following the expiration of a previous 60-day deadline for Iran to halt its uranium enrichment program.

The Israeli government has specifically requested American assistance with deploying bunker-busting bombs against Iran’s heavily fortified Fordow nuclear facility. Netanyahu’s government has made clear that while U.S. participation would be welcomed, Israel remains prepared to continue operations independently to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons capability.
Diplomatic Efforts and Military Preparations
European Union diplomats are preparing for nuclear talks with Iran in Geneva, though no direct negotiations are currently scheduled in Washington. Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, will not attend the Geneva talks, signaling that the U.S. is maintaining pressure rather than rushing into potentially fruitless discussions.
Trump has demanded Iran altogether abandon its nuclear program and cease all uranium enrichment activities – non-negotiable conditions for any potential agreement. The U.S. military has developed comprehensive plans for possible strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities, including the heavily fortified Fordo site, should diplomatic efforts fail to produce results within the two-week timeframe.
“Iran has all that it needs to keep a nuclear weapon. All they need is a decision from the Supreme Leader to do that.”
The current situation stems from Iran’s violations of the 2015 nuclear deal, which prompted the first Trump administration to withdraw from the agreement. Trump has made clear he is not interested in temporary measures or ceasefires, instead seeking “total and complete victory” that permanently eliminates Iran’s nuclear threat to America and its allies.
