Donald Trump said the world will know within about 10 days if the US reaches a deal with Iran or moves toward military action. Speaking at the first meeting of his Board of Peace in Washington, Trump said, “we have some work to do” on Iran’s nuclear programme. He added, “we may have to take it a step further.” He said envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner held “very good meetings.” US forces have increased their presence in the region, including the carrier USS Abraham Lincoln. Lawmakers like Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie oppose action without Congress approval.
