The tension is absolutely palpable right now. Just hours before the crucial Geneva talks, Trump is doubling down in the SOTU, claiming Iran is building missiles to reach US soil and citing 32k protest deaths. Tehran is calling these 'big lies' and warning of a 'strong response.' It feels like we are walking a tightrope between a historic deal and a catastrophic war. Iran wants to save face on enrichment; the US wants zero nukes and missile limits. If diplomacy fails tomorrow, we could see bases targeted across the Middle East. Is this 'honourable diplomacy' or just bullying? I'm terrified that one wrong move by either side triggers a conflict that drags the whole world down. We need a deal, not more drumbeats of war. #IranTalks #Geneva #Trump #MiddleEast
