The US is actively engaged in coercive diplomacy with Iran, signaling a binary choice between military strikes and a major deal. While President Trump confirmed the postponement of a previously reported Sunday attack, the threat of future military action remains, with timing potentially influenced by upcoming US legislative elections. Tehran accuses Washington of derailing diplomatic efforts.
The US is actively signaling a possible military strike on Iran as early as this weekend, while simultaneously pursuing coercive diplomacy for a 'major deal'.
