CITY, State (Fox News) — U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matt Whitaker warns that President Donald Trump has set clear demands for Iran, with the next steps in Iran’s hands as a U.S. naval fleet monitors the region.

## Key Facts:
– Whitaker emphasized Trump’s stance on Iran’s nuclear ambitions and suppression of protests.
– Trump is not willing to wait indefinitely for Iran to comply.
– Iran is being urged to de-escalate tensions by abandoning nuclear ambitions and stopping the suppression of protests.

## Key Facts:
– Trump believes Iran is negotiating seriously with the U.S. and hopes for an acceptable deal.
– Iran now considers all European Union militaries as terrorist groups due to the EU’s declaration of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terror group.

Concerns arise that Iran may target U.S. NATO allies if America launches another attack, following Operation Midnight Hammer on Iranian nuclear facilities in June. Fox News Digital’s Michael Sinkewicz contributed to this report.
