"24 Hours to Decide": Trump Issues Final Warning to Iran Ahead of Islamabad Talks
He stated that these assets are ready for "effective use" if the upcoming negotiations in Pakistan do not result in a breakthrough.
While Vice President JD Vance expressed cautious optimism on his way to Islamabad, he echoed Trump’s firm stance, warning Tehran against any "manipulative tactics."

With the Strait of Hormuz still under Iranian control and US naval forces on high alert, the next 24 hours remain the most critical window for global security in recent history.
