US President Donald Trump is reportedly considering launching new strikes against Iran if ongoing negotiations fail to produce a peace deal. This comes after a meeting with his senior national security team, where frustrations over the stalled diplomatic efforts were evident. Trump emphasized the importance of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and expressed a desire for a decisive military operation if necessary. Meanwhile, Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir is in Tehran, engaging in mediation efforts alongside a Qatari delegation. Despite some reports of slight progress in talks, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio noted that deep divisions remain between the two countries. The war, which began on February 28 with US-Israeli strikes on Iran, saw a ceasefire in April, but negotiations have yet to yield a lasting resolution. As tensions mount, Trump has also canceled personal plans to remain in Washington during this critical period.
