US-Iran Proposal Round in Geneva: The Final Diplomatic Move or a Strategic Step?

The US-Iran meeting scheduled to take place in Geneva today (02/26) is seen as an important diplomatic step or just a political stunt? From the beginning of this week, the Trump administration demanded Iran submit a detailed nuclear agreement proposal by no later than 02/24, creating clear time pressure for the upcoming negotiations. According to Axios and The New York Times, this is described as the last diplomatic opportunity before President Trump considers larger-scale military measures.

Negotiation Roadmap and Proposal Content

Today, the two sides are expected to meet in Geneva to discuss in detail the nuclear solution proposal put forward by Iran. A senior US official confirmed that the administration set a deadline of 02/24 to receive a complete proposal from Iran. This meeting is not just an exchange of information but a test of Iran’s seriousness in seeking a peaceful solution.

According to US media sources, if Iran submits the proposal early, negotiations are expected to begin from the end of this week. However, the tight schedule and high requirements for details indicate that Trump no longer wants to prolong the negotiation process. This is the first time in a long while that the two countries will sit down to directly discuss this sensitive issue.

Military Escalation Scenarios if Diplomacy Fails

Sources familiar with the matter say Trump told his advisors that if diplomacy or an initial strike fails to force Iran to abandon its nuclear program, he will consider launching larger-scale military attacks in the coming months. This is a clear signal of Trump’s impatience regarding Iran.

The larger military options Trump is considering may target top Iranian leaders. Currently, Trump is reportedly exploring various options, including the possibility of initial military action in the next few days to pressure Iran into abandoning its nuclear weapons program. If these steps do not achieve the desired results, Trump will keep open the option of conducting a larger-scale military attack by the end of 2026.

Cryptocurrency Market Reactions and Political Calculations

This tense development also impacts the global cryptocurrency market. Adventure Gold (AGLD) is currently trading at $0.27, down 8.43% in the past 24 hours. Kite (KITE) also faces pressure, priced at $0.26, down 3.83%. Bella Protocol (BEL) is at $0.10, down 3.84% during the same period. These movements reflect investor uncertainty amid the potential escalation of international conflict.

Beyond military considerations, Trump’s political calculations are clear: this diplomatic opportunity allows him to assert that he has tried to find a peaceful solution before acting. However, with tight deadlines and difficult conditions, the prospects for this proposal’s success remain uncertain.
