PANews reported on February 23 that, according to Axios and The New York Times, U.S. and Iranian negotiators are expected to meet in Geneva on Thursday, February 26, to discuss a detailed nuclear agreement proposal put forward by Iran. A senior U.S. official revealed that the Trump administration expects to receive the proposal no later than Tuesday, February 24, and indicated that this diplomatic effort may be President Trump's last chance before considering large-scale military action against Iran.

Meanwhile, sources familiar with the matter revealed that President Trump has told his advisors that if diplomatic efforts or an initial strike fail to force Iran to abandon its nuclear program, he will consider a larger-scale attack in the coming months aimed at ousting Iranian leaders. Currently, Trump is weighing various options in the event of failed negotiations and leans towards initial military action in the coming days to pressure Iran to abandon its nuclear weapons program. Trump told his advisors that if these actions fail to persuade Iran to meet his demands, he will reserve the possibility of launching a military strike later this year.

According to previous reports from US media, if Iran submits its nuclear proposal soon, US-Iran talks are expected to be held on Friday .
