Trump says Iran "doesn't want the consequences" of not making a nuclear deal with the U.S.

""The talks "will be very important," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Monday night.""

""The Iranians are tough negotiators ... I hope they are going to be more reasonable," he added."

""I am in Geneva with real ideas to achieve a fair and equitable deal," Araghchi wrote on X on Monday. "What is not on the table: submission before threats.""

""Trump isn't gonna let Iran play the game of endless talks and moving the goal posts. He is fully aware of the consequences of action and inaction,""

U.S. officials expect Iran to arrive at Tuesday talks with tangible concessions related to its nuclear program. President Trump called the talks "very important," said Iranians are tough negotiators and expressed hope they will be reasonable, while insisting Iran wants a deal to avoid consequences. The U.S. simultaneously ordered a major military buildup in the Persian Gulf, including a second carrier strike group and additional F-35s and tankers. Iran's deputy foreign minister met Oman’s mediator and the IAEA director general in Geneva. Iranian statements emphasized fair negotiations and rejection of submission under threats. U.S. and Israeli officials are reported to be fully coordinated.
