Trump's tipping point: Destroy Iran's infrastructure or give talks a chance - Axios

Reporting indicates the president faces a choice between striking Iranian infrastructure or allowing mediated negotiations to proceed; he has warned the "clock is ticking" and called a Situation Room meeting to consider harder strikes. Mediators from Pakistan, Egypt and Turkey are working to buy time, but the president's actions raise the stakes and shorten the timeline for a negotiated outcome. The heightened rhetoric strengthens hardline arguments for military action and raises the risk of sudden escalation if talks stall.
