Trump Sets Iran Nuclear Deal Deadline
President Donald Trump said Iran must reach a nuclear deal within 10 to 15 days. If not, Iran will face sanctions.
Tehran warned it would attack US bases if the United States attacked Iran. A large American military buildup in the Middle East has raised tensions.
Iran's warning came in response to Trump's deadline and the military buildup. Oil prices stayed near a six-month high after Trump's announcement.
Klear Note — Iran's nuclear program has been a major US concern for years. Previous deals limited Iran's nuclear activities in exchange for lifting sanctions.
