Tensions are escalating between the US and Iran, with Donald Trump stating that "time is running out" for Iran. A large US armada is being deployed to the region, signaling a potential military strike. This follows Trump's recent calls for Iran to negotiate a deal regarding its nuclear program. The situation is further complicated by Trump's earlier promises of support to Iranian protesters, which he later retracted. The Guardian is reporting on the situation and discussing potential next steps for the US president. The report features analysis from Devika Bhat, the Guardian's deputy international news editor.
