Trump says he is ‘not happy’ with the Iran nuclear talks but indicates he’ll give them more time

US President Donald Trump said on Friday he's “not happy” with the latest talks over Iran's nuclear program but indicated he would give negotiators more time to reach a deal to avert another war in the Middle East. He spoke a day after US envoys held another inconclusive round of indirect talks with Iran in Geneva. As American forces gather in the region, Trump has threatened military action if Iran does not agree to a far-reaching deal on its nuclear program, while Iran insists it has the right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes and denies seeking a nuclear weapon.

UN nuclear watchdog says it’s unable to verify whether Iran has suspended all uranium enrichment

Iran has not allowed the United Nations nuclear agency access to its nuclear facilities bombed by Iran and the United States during a 12-day war in June, according to a confidential report by the watchdog circulated to member states and seen on Friday by The Associated Press.

Clock ticks down as Trump’s threat to Iran nears crunch time

The clock is ticking on US President Donald Trump's threat to launch military strikes against Iran - but even if he gives the green light to his generals and admirals, will they achieve his aims? Hopes of a diplomatic solution rest on last-ditch talks over Tehran's nuclear program in Switzerland between Iranian officials and American negotiators, headed by special envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
