Trump sets deadline: Iran has 15 days for nuclear deal VIDEO

US President Donald Trump announced that Iran has a maximum of 15 days to reach an agreement on a new nuclear deal.

“I would think that would be enough time, 10-15 days, pretty much maximum,” Caliber.Az quotes Trump telling reporters aboard Air Force One.

A reporter asked what the goal would be of sending a US military presence around Iran, and Trump replied that they would make a deal one way or another.

When asked if a military strike would aim to destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities, Trump declined to comment.

“I'm not going to talk to you about that,” Trump answered.

In 2015, Iran and six world powers—the United States, China, France, Russia, Germany, and the United Kingdom—signed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). 

The deal imposed restrictions on Tehran’s nuclear program and granted the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) access to nuclear sites, including inspections of suspicious locations. In return, sanctions were to be lifted gradually. The JCPOA’s provisions were set to last 15 years, after which the restrictions would expire.

In 2018, Trump withdrew the US from the JCPOA, calling it a “bad deal” and citing its failure to address Iran’s ballistic missile program. In 2025, he announced plans to negotiate a new agreement with Iran.
