What ultimatum did Trump give to Iran?
US President Donald Trump has given a strict warning to Iran on the nuclear deal. He said that Iran has a maximum of 10 to 15 days in which a concrete agreement will have to be reached. If this does not happen then America can take more strict steps. Hearing this from Trump, the tension in the area has increased further. Everyone is wondering what will happen now.
How did America increase its power in the region?
To put pressure on Iran, America has increased the number of its warships in West Asia. USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier is already deployed in the Arabian Sea. Now the world’s largest aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford is also moving towards this area. This clearly shows that America is very serious about this issue and does not want to take any risk.
What reaction came from Russia and Iran?
Russia clearly said that it will not tolerate any kind of attack on Iran. At the same time, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told his people to be prepared, to counter any threat coming from outside with force. Both the countries are seen standing with each other.
What impact can this entire matter have at the global level?
This joint exercise of Iran and Russia and Trump’s strict warning have raised the tension in West Asia to a new height. The situation may become more critical in the coming days. The world’s eyes are now on whether any solution emerges from the talks between Iran and America, or whether the matter gets worse. Oil prices, shipping routes and overall global security may be affected. The only hope is that the matter should be resolved through talks, because war is not good for anyone.
