- Serbia and Sweden issue urgent calls for their nationals to leave Iran as tensions escalate.
- President of the United States Donald Trump sets a 15-day deadline for a new nuclear deal, warning of possible military action.
International tensions in the Middle East intensified Saturday as Serbia and Sweden urged their citizens to leave Iran immediately, citing growing security risks linked to mounting US threats of military action.
Serbia’s Foreign Ministry issued an official statement advising all Serbian nationals in Iran to depart the country without delay, pointing to the deteriorating security situation. Belgrade had issued a similar warning in mid-January, signaling sustained concern over regional developments.
Sweden’s Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard also delivered what she described as a “strong call” on X, urging Swedish citizens to leave Iran at once and avoid traveling there under current conditions.
The diplomatic warnings reflect heightened global anxiety over a potential escalation that could destabilize the region.
Trump deadline raises stakes
The developments come as President Trump publicly warned Iran that it has no more than 15 days to reach what he called a “viable deal” regarding its nuclear program. He cautioned that failure to reach an agreement would lead to serious consequences, widely interpreted as possible military strikes.
The US administration has simultaneously reinforced its military presence in the region, underscoring the seriousness of the threat. Analysts say the pressure campaign aims to compel Tehran to accept Washington’s conditions, reportedly in coordination with ‘Israel’, which supports efforts to curb Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
In response, Tehran announced Friday that it intends to prepare a new draft proposal on its nuclear program to present to the United States within two or three days. The move follows difficult negotiations earlier this week, as Iranian officials seek a diplomatic formula that could defuse tensions and prevent the crisis from escalating into open conflict.
