Trump 'not going to be much more patient,' says Iran can make deal or 'get annihilated'
After talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Trump asserted that the two leaders agreed that Iran should not have nuclear weapons.
Assessment
The US president is escalating pressure on Iran by linking nuclear nonproliferation to a binary choice between negotiation and destruction. The reported agreement with China signals potential diplomatic alignment, though Beijing's actual enforcement remains unclear. The key question is whether this ultimatum will push Iran toward concessions or further entrenchment.
