Trump warns Iran ‘time is running out’ for nuclear deal as US military builds up in Gulf
President Donald Trump issued a warning to Iran on Wednesday, signaling that “time is running out” for the nuclear deal as the US military continues to bolster its presence in the Gulf region. The US has been increasing its military capabilities in the area, including deploying B-52 bombers to Qatar and moving the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier to the region.
Trump’s administration has been vocal about its dissatisfaction with the 2015 nuclear agreement, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). The President pulled the US out of the deal in 2018, citing concerns over Iran’s nuclear activities and accusing Tehran of not abiding by the agreement.
Iran, on the other hand, has maintained that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes and has denied any allegations of seeking nuclear weapons. Iranian officials have criticized the US for withdrawing from the JCPOA and have expressed reluctance to engage in new negotiations unless the US first rejoins the deal and lifts the sanctions imposed on Iran.
The recent escalation of tensions in the Gulf comes against the backdrop of Trump’s final days in office, with President-elect Joe Biden set to take office on January 20. Biden has indicated his willingness to rejoin the JCPOA under certain conditions, raising speculation about how the dynamics between the US and Iran may shift in the coming weeks.
As both countries navigate the complexities of their relationship and the future of the nuclear deal hangs in the balance, observers are closely monitoring the situation in the Gulf for any further developments that could impact regional stability.
