Trump’s Final Warning To Iran: ‘Move Fast Or Face Consequences’ Says U.S President On Nuclear Deal [Video]

Trump’s Final Warning To Iran: ‘Move Fast Or Face Consequences’ Says U.S President On Nuclear Deal

President Trump has revealed that Iran received a fresh U.S. proposal for a new nuclear agreement. Urging swift action, Trump warned Tehran to “move quickly” or face serious consequences. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stressed the urgency, citing Iran’s 60% enriched uranium stockpile—just a short step from weapons-grade levels. With four rounds of backchannel talks in Oman and increasing pressure from Congress, the stakes are high. Trump claims Iran has “sort of agreed,” promising a future without “nuclear dust”—but Republicans are demanding a tougher stance. #Trump #IranDeal #NuclearTalks #Iran #MarcoRubio #IAEA #NuclearWeapons #MiddleEast #USPolitics #TrumpAdministration #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #InternationalRelations #Diplomacy #IranNuclearProgram #USIranRelations #HardlinePolicy #NuclearCrisis #SecurityThreat #OmanTalks #TrumpVsIran #EnrichedUranium #RepublicanPressure #WhiteHouse #IAEAReport #GlobalSecurity #WeaponizationWarning #NuclearAgreement #RubioStatement #TrumpSpeech Also Read What is Al-Ayyala, The Hair-Flipping Ritual Performed By Women To Welcome Trump In UAE? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/what-is-al-ayyala-the-hair-flipping-ritual-performed-by-women-to-welcome-trump-in-uae-4155333.html?ref=DMDesc Days After Pahalgam Attack, Pakistan Signed Deal With Trump Family-Backed Cryptocurrency Venture :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/days-after-pahalgam-attack-pakistan-signed-deal-with-trump-family-backed-cryptocurrency-venture-4154893.html?ref=DMDesc Kangana Ranaut Takes Jibe At Donald Trump, Later Deletes It - Says Did It On 'JP Nadda's Request' :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/kangana-ranaut-takes-jibe-at-donald-trump-says-deleted-post-on-jp-naddas-request-4154455.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.124~

Iran Proposes SHOCKING Nuclear Venture With US As Alternative To Trump's Demand: NYT Report | WATCH

In a surprising diplomatic twist, Iran has proposed a joint nuclear enrichment venture involving the U.S. and Arab nations, according to a New York Times report. The plan was reportedly pitched by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi during back-channel talks in Oman as an alternative to President Trump’s demand to dismantle Iran’s entire nuclear program. While the U.S. envoy denied such a proposal was made, Tehran maintains uranium enrichment is non-negotiable. The talks come amid soaring tensions over Gaza, maritime attacks, and Iran’s growing uranium stockpile. #Iran #USIranTalks #NuclearDeal #Trump #UraniumEnrichment #MiddleEast #JointVenture #NuclearProgram #IranNuclear #GazaWar #ArabNations #Tehran #Diplomacy #NuclearTensions #TrumpPolicy #NuclearWeapons #SteveWitkoff #Pezeshkian #AbbasAraghchi #OmanTalks ~ED.346~HT.336~

Iran 'WARNS' Of Consequences If Europe Triggers Nuclear Sanctions Ahead Of Scheduled Turkey Talks

Tehran and European parties to the 2015 nuclear deal—Germany, the UK, and France—will meet in Istanbul on May 16 to discuss the Iran nuclear file and U.S.-Iran indirect talks. This marks the fourth round of consultations since 2024, after a delayed April meeting in Rome. The talks come after a round of Oman-mediated U.S.-Iran negotiations, with both sides reporting progress. With the deal’s snapback sanctions clause set to expire in October, European officials are considering invoking it—raising the stakes in what could be a turning point for the nuclear agreement. #IranNuclearDeal #IranTalks #EUForeignPolicy #IstanbulTalks #IranUS #SnapbackSanctions #JCPOA #Iran #USIran #MiddleEastPolitics #Tehran #EuropeanTroika #Germany #UK #France #Diplomacy #NuclearNegotiations #NuclearDeal #OmanTalks #IranUpdate #Geopolitics #GlobalDiplomacy #NuclearTensions #SanctionsThreat #UNSanctions #ForeignPolicy #BreakingNews #InternationalAffairs #IranEU #IranNews #Iran2025 Also Read Massive Explosion At Iran's Bandar Abbas: Over 500 Injured :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/massive-explosion-at-irans-bandar-abbas-at-least-47-injured-4135773.html?ref=DMDesc Iran Reaches Out To India, Pakistan To De-Escalate Cross-Border Tensions :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/iran-reaches-out-to-india-pakistan-to-de-escalate-cross-border-tensions-4135431.html?ref=DMDesc Iran, US Hold First High-Level Nuclear Talks Since 2018 In Oman :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-us-hold-first-high-level-nuclear-talks-since-2018-in-oman-4122717.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~

Houthi Warns Gulf States: ‘Don’t Trust Trump, Remember Palestine’ | Demands Action Against Israel

As President Trump visits Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, Yemen’s Houthi leaders issue a stark warning to Gulf states against aligning with Washington. Mohammed Ali al-Houthi called on Arab leaders to stand with Palestine and remember America's history of abandoning allies like the Shah of Iran. Despite a U.S.-mediated truce, Houthi leaders vow to continue retaliatory strikes in defense of Gaza. The UAE welcomes the Oman-brokered ceasefire for boosting regional trade, but tensions remain high with Israel striking Yemen following Houthi attacks. The group remains defiant and distrustful of U.S. promises. #Houthi #Yemen #DonaldTrump #MiddleEast #USPolitics #Ceasefire #SaudiArabia #UAE #Qatar #GulfPolitics #RedSea #IsraelYemenConflict #Gaza #Palestine #TrumpVisit #Truce #ArabWorld #MohammedAliAlHouthi #OmanMediation #GulfWarning #USAllies #HouthiResponse #TrumpMiddleEast #IsraelStrikes #DefensePolicy #ArabUnity #PoliticalWarning #MiddleEastCrisis #WashingtonDeal #Geopolitics Also Read Missile from Yemen Disrupts Flights in Israel Ahead of Key Vote on Gaza War :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/missile-from-yemen-disrupts-flights-in-israel-ahead-of-key-vote-on-gaza-war-4143509.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Declares Columbus Day Will Remain Unchanged Amid Indigenous Peoples Day Recognition :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-reinstates-columbus-day-amid-indigenous-peoples-day-debate-011-4136967.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Considers Temporary Exemption from Auto Tariffs to Aid Car Manufacturers Amid Economic Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-considers-temporary-exemption-auto-tariffs-011-4124041.html?ref=DMDesc

Gaza ‘Genocide’ DOMINATES Arab League Summit 2025 As Israel Faces Global Outrage Over Deadly Siege

The 34th Arab League Summit in Baghdad is dominated by Gaza’s unfolding humanitarian catastrophe. Iraq’s PM labelled Israel’s actions “genocide,” pledging $40 million for Gaza and Lebanon’s reconstruction. The summit follows President Trump’s controversial Gaza remarks during his Middle East tour. Leaders including Mahmoud Abbas and UN chief Guterres demand an immediate ceasefire, aid access, and legal accountability. Spain announced plans to push the ICC to examine Israel’s compliance with aid delivery laws, intensifying diplomatic pressure. A unified Arab plan calls for Gaza’s rebuilding without displacing its 2.4 million residents. #gaza #gazawar #arableague #baghdadsummit #palestine #israel #ceasefirenow #gazasiege #humanitarianaid #trumpmiddleeast #gaza2025 #arabunity #mohammedshiaalSudani #unrwa #antonioGuterres #pedrosanchez #iccinquiry #gazareconstruction #stopthegenocide #middleeastnews

Hamas Double-Crosses By Trump? Hamas Exposes Trump’s Deception, ‘Tricked After Hostage Release’

Hamas is accusing the Trump administration of betrayal after the release of American-Israeli soldier Edan Alexander. In a shocking revelation, senior Hamas official Basem Naim claims that Trump’s envoy promised to lift the Gaza blockade, allow humanitarian aid, and publicly call for a ceasefire in exchange for the hostage’s release.
