Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order reaffirming the ongoing national emergency with respect to Iran

The negotiations reopened diplomacy, but mistrust and military pressure raise the question of how much time remains.

Iran condemned Israel for its military expansion and domination over neighbouring countries amid ongoing nuclear talks with the United States.
