US President Donald Trump intensified pressure on Iran on Sunday as diplomatic efforts to end months of conflict in the Middle East appeared to edge closer to collapse. Trump issued a stark warning on social media following a call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, signalling growing frustration over stalled talks. “For Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they better get moving, FAST, or there won't be anything left of them. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!” he wrote on Truth Social.
The warning came as both Washington and Tehran hardened their positions. According to Iran’s Fars News Agency, the United States wants Tehran to surrender 400 kilograms of enriched uranium, limit operations to a single nuclear facility, abandon demands for war compensation and accept that most frozen Iranian assets would remain blocked. Iran, in turn, insisted sanctions must be lifted, frozen overseas assets released and military operations across the region halted before talks could resume.
