Trump asks why Iran ignores heavy military pressure
Envoy Steve Witkoff stated the president is confused about Tehran's refusal to yield despite significant American force in the region. The US leader recently declared a decision regarding a potential strike or agreement would occur within ten days. Mediators from Oman confirmed that fresh negotiations will take place in Geneva this Thursday to finalise terms. While Iran claims it is drafting a proposal, large naval vessels are currently approaching the Middle East.
