In a decisive move reaffirming his hardline stance, President Donald Trump has cautioned Tehran about the grave consequences of failing to negotiate, as both nations prepare for critical talks in Geneva. Trump's presence, albeit indirect, underscores the high stakes of the summit, scheduled to begin on Tuesday.

Describing the discussions as 'very important,' Trump criticized Iran's negotiating tactics, labeling its leadership as ineffective negotiators, implying that past military actions have shifted the geopolitical dynamics and necessitated renewed diplomatic engagement.

Amid recent military interventions, Trump emphasized the importance of reducing nuclear potential in maintaining regional security. 'Operation Midnight Hammer,' targeting key Iranian nuclear facilities, is cited as pivotal in averting imminent threats, setting the stage for diplomatic talks to commence.
