Trump Confirms Deep Discussions with Iran, Warns of Broad Military Action if Talks Fail

US President Donald Trump confirmed on Monday that his country is engaged in "deep discussions" with Iran, cautioning that a broad military operation would follow if these talks prove unsuccessful. Trump revealed that mediating nations had urged him to avoid military action, believing Iranians seek a deal. He explained his decision to pause attacks on Iran came at the intermediaries' request to provide a negotiation opportunity, but stressed the window for a breakthrough is brief, and he won't allow extended time.
