Trump warns 'won't be anything left' of Iran unless it agrees to deal
United States fails to make any concrete concessions in its response to Iran's proposal for negotiations to end the war: state media
US President Donald Trump on Sunday warned Iran "there won't be anything left of them," if Teheran does not quickly agree to a peace deal with the United States.
"For Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they better get moving, FAST, or there won't be anything left of them," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. "TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!"
Iranian media on Sunday said the United States failed to make any concrete concessions in its response to Iran's proposal for negotiations to end the war.
Fars news agency said Washington gave a five-point list which included a demand for Iran to keep only one nuclear site in operation and transfer its stockpile of highly enriched uranium to the United States.
Mehr news agency meanwhile said: "The United States, offering no tangible concessions, wants to obtain concessions that it failed to obtain during the war, which will lead to an impasse in the negotiations."
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has once again warned Iran of serious consequences if a peace agreement is not reached soon, saying it would be in Tehran’s own interest to finalise a deal without further delay.
Speaking during a telephone interview with a French broadcaster, Trump said that if a peace agreement was not achieved quickly, it would become “a very bad time” for Iran.
Trump added that he was no longer in the mood to tolerate additional delays in the process.
The US president also posted a cryptic message on social media without directly naming Iran. In the post, Trump wrote, “Silence before the storm,” alongside a photograph showing him aboard a military aircraft.
Meanwhile, a report published by The New York Times claimed that Israel and the United States had completed preparations for possible new attacks on Iran. According to the report, military operations could resume as early as next week.
Two senior Middle Eastern officials told the newspaper that both countries were considering several military options, including a complete blockade of the region and the possibility of direct clashes with Iranian ground forces.
At the same time, Iran announced plans to introduce a new system to regulate maritime movement in the Strait of Hormuz. Ebrahim Azizi, head of Iran’s National Security Committee, said a formal announcement regarding designated shipping routes would be made soon.
He stated that commercial parties and vessels cooperating with Iran would benefit from the new system and would receive special services in exchange for necessary fees. He also said that the planned route would remain closed to parties associated with the so-called “Freedom Project”.
Separately, Iranian authorities announced that the country’s stock market would reopen on Tuesday. A deputy supervisor at the Iranian Securities and Exchange organisation said the market had been temporarily closed during the conflict to protect shareholders’ assets and provide more transparent conditions for price determination during wartime.
