Trump Issues Final Warning to Iran as Nuclear Talks Reach Deadlock

Trump warned Iran to reach a deal quickly or face serious consequences, as nuclear negotiations in Istanbul ended without a breakthrough.

U.S. President Trump issued a final warning to Iran on social media on May 17th, stating that if Iran does not act quickly, Iran will have nothing left.

Previously, both the U.S. and Iran held multiple rounds of nuclear negotiations in Istanbul, but failed to achieve substantive progress.

The core disagreement in the talks centers on the U.S. requirement that Iran completely abandon uranium enrichment activities.

Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei denounced this as an excessive demand and refused to fully accept.

Iran stated its willingness to limit enrichment levels, but completely abandoning enrichment capability is unacceptable.

This diplomatic deadlock has further increased tensions in the Middle East.

At the same time, international oil prices have shown fluctuation due to the unclear situation.
