## Trump Warns Iran

US President Donald Trump has issued a warning to Iran, stating that military action could be taken if ongoing nuclear negotiations fail. Despite this, Trump mentioned that the US is currently engaged in "very friendly talks" with Tehran, although Iran has denied any such discussions.

Trump is scheduled to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House. This meeting marks Netanyahu's first visit since the onset of the conflict with Iran, which began in February with US-Israeli strikes.
