President Donald Trump says the world will find out "over the next, probably, 10 days" whether the US will reach a deal with Iran or take military action, BBC reported. 

At the inaugural meeting of his Board of Peace in Washington DC, Trump said of negotiations with the Islamic Republic about its nuclear programme: "We have to make a meaningful deal otherwise bad things happen." 

In recent days, the US has surged military forces to the Middle East, while progress was also reported at talks between American and Iranian negotiators in Switzerland, according to BBC.
