Summary
Trump has publicly stated he is 'not happy' with the progress of nuclear talks with Iran and has not yet made a decision on whether to launch a military strike. He has also questioned, through his envoy Steve Witkoff, why Iran has not 'capitulated' despite a significant U.S. military buildup in the region.
In response, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio is planning a trip to Israel to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss Iran, Lebanon, and a Gaza peace plan. Rubio has also briefed senior members of Congress on the situation. Netanyahu has reportedly expressed concern about Trump's approach to Iran.
Diplomatic talks between the U.S. and Iran are continuing in Geneva, with an Omani official expressing hope for 'decisive progress' in the coming days. Trump has pressed Iran to make a 'meaningful' deal and appears to have set a 10-day deadline for progress.
