Trump gives 'Clock ticking' warning to Iran, says to act fast or nothing will be left of them

US President Donald Trump issued a fresh warning to Iran as negotiations remained deadlocked over uranium stockpiles, sanctions relief and war compensation following months of conflict across the Middle East.

"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 wrote on Sunday in a Truth Social.

Trump’s remarks came just hours after Iranian media revealed the US's core conditions for resuming negotiations. According to Iran’s Fars News Agency, the US wants Iran to surrender 400 kilograms of enriched uranium, keep only one nuclear facility active, drop demands for war compensation, accept that most frozen Iranian assets



will remain blocked and end the war on all fronts only after negotiations are completed.

In response, Tehran laid out its own five preconditions for talks. According to Iranian media reports, Iran said it would only return to negotiations if military operations across the region -- particularly in Lebanon -- come to an end, sanctions on Iran are lifted and its frozen overseas assets are released. Iran also demanded compensation for war damages and recognition of its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.

The tensions persist despite a ceasefire brokered earlier this year through Pakistani mediation after weeks of fighting between Iran, Israel and US-linked forces across the region.
