President Donald Trump again warned Iran of the stark consequences for the Islamic Republic if a permanent peace deal is not reached.
“‘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!’
Trump posted to Truth Social on Sunday.
Since a fragile ceasefire was declared in early April, negotiators have sought to establish a permanent peace deal, so far without success.
Key sticking points appear to be the future of the Iranian nuclear program and the administration of the Strait of Hormuz.
Last week, Trump vocally announced his disappointment with an Iranian peace proposal, calling it a “piece of garbage” and admitting he “didn’t even finish reading it.”
Speaking to reporters, Trump accused Iranian negotiators of “playing games.”
Iranian state media, however, described the proposal as “reasonable and responsible.”
Trump and his administration officials have consistently made it clear that a renewing of large-scale hostilities is not off the table.
His Sunday warning follows a multi-day summit in China, after which Trump announced during an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity that Chinese President Xi Jinping is committed to withholding military equipment from Iran, and that Xi also expressed a desire to help keep the Strait of Hormuz open.
