In Geneva, Iran and the United States prepare for high-stakes nuclear negotiations deemed the last diplomatic effort amid mounting tensions in the Middle East. The outcome of these talks could significantly impact global stability and the contentious issue of Iran's nuclear ambitions.

US President Donald Trump aims to pressure Iran into a deal to limit its nuclear program. The American strategy involves militarization in the region, leveraging Iran's internal struggles amid recent nationwide protests. Meanwhile, Iran holds firm on its right to enrich uranium and insists the talks must focus solely on nuclear issues.

Diplomatic maneuvers continue in the shadow of potential military conflict. Iran has warned of severe repercussions in the event of an American attack, including targeting US bases and possibly initiating a regional war. As tensions rise, oil prices have surged, reflecting market anxieties about the Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery for global oil trade.
