Iran has rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s claim that Washington issued a deadline for nuclear negotiations, calling the idea of an ultimatum unacceptable. The denial comes as American warships, including a carrier strike group, move deeper into the Middle East, amplifying military pressure. At the same time, Tehran has summoned European Union ambassadors to protest the listing of the Revolutionary Guard as a terror organisation. With diplomacy publicly disputed and military assets quietly repositioned, regional tensions are sharpening. Officials on all sides insist talks remain possible — but the growing show of force suggests the margin for miscalculation is narrowing fast.
