france24.comA senior U.S. official told Axios that Iran’s updated proposal for ending the conflict is not a meaningful improvement and remains insufficient for a deal. Washington said President Donald Trump still prefers a negotiated settlement but is weighing military options as Tehran continues to resist key demands on its nuclear program.
Trump is expected to convene his top national security team in the Situation Room on Tuesday to discuss military options. Officials warned that if no progress is made, talks could shift toward escalation, with internal discussions on next steps expected at the highest level.
A senior U.S. official said that if Iran will not shift its position, the U.S. will have to continue negotiations "through bombs." Trump is reportedly considering resuming the Iran War due to Iran's rejection of many of his demands. Peace talks continue to show little progress.
