US President Donald Trump has warned Iran, saying the “Clock is Ticking” for them to “get moving” before “there won’t be anything left of them.”
“TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!” he said on his Truth Social media account on Sunday.
Trump’s remarks came amid repeated threats for Tehran to agree to US demands for a ceasefire, which include a commitment not to enrich nuclear materials and the transfer of enriched uranium at Iranian sites to US forces and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
Regional tensions have escalated since the US and Israel launched strikes against Iran on February 28, triggering retaliation from Tehran against Israel, as well as US allies in the Gulf, along with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
A ceasefire took effect on April 8 through Pakistani mediation, but talks in Islamabad failed to produce a lasting agreement.
US President Donald Trump later extended the truce indefinitely.
While the truce remains ongoing, it has been under increased strain in recent days, with Trump saying on Monday that it was on “massive life support” after rejecting Tehran’s latest ceasefire proposal as “unacceptable.”
