Imtiaz Mahmood(@ImtiazMadmood):The Washington Post points out that President Donald Trump has given Iran at least twelve separate opportunities to avoid military action since conflict broke out on February 28, 2026. According to a review of official statements, the president has repeatedly issued explicit ultimatums, threatened direct strikes, and imposed rigid deadlines on Tehran, only to subsequently reverse course or choose to extend those time limits. These repeated diplomatic extensions have shaped a pattern of brinkmanship, culminating in a recent decision to halt a massive operation while issuing a final "last chance" warning for Iran to negotiate and sign a framework agreement.
