Khaberni - US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that "time is running out" for Iran, urging Tehran to "act quickly."
Trump added in a post on the "Truth Social" platform: "It is better for them to act quickly, otherwise there will be nothing left of it," confirming that "time is a critical factor."
In his talk with Axios, he said: "Time is running out for Iran, it is better for them to hurry up to reach an agreement, otherwise there will be nothing left."
He added that he still believes that Iran wants to reach an agreement, adding that he is waiting for an updated Iranian proposal, hoping it will be better than the last offer presented a few days ago.
Trump continued: "We want to reach an agreement. They are not in the position we want them to be in. They need to get there, otherwise they will face severe strikes, and they do not want that."
He confirmed that the United States will strike Iran "much harder than before" if Tehran does not present a better proposal.
Meanwhile, two US officials told Axios that Trump is expected to hold a meeting in the situation room with senior national security officials on Tuesday to discuss military action options with Iran.
The officials said that Trump spoke on Sunday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the situation in Iran.
According to a knowledgeable source, Trump held a meeting with members of his national security team at his golf club in Virginia on Saturday to discuss the Iranian file, attended by Vice President JD Vance, US envoy Steve Witkoff, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
The report indicated that the Pakistani Interior Minister visited Iran on Saturday and Sunday to hold talks with senior Iranian leaders about an agreement to end the war, while Pakistan is the official mediator between the United States and Iran.
Iranian media reported on Sunday that the United States had not offered "any concrete concessions" in its response to Tehran's proposals.
Mehr agency said that Washington "wants to impose very strict and long-term restrictions on the Iranian nuclear sector and links stopping hostilities on all fronts to the start of negotiations."
The Iranian nuclear issue remains one of the main points of contention between the two countries.
Fars agency reported that the United States has put forward five points in which it specifically demands that Iran retains only one nuclear facility and transfers its stock of highly enriched uranium to Washington.
Fars noted that Washington has refused to release 25% of the Iranian assets frozen abroad or pay any compensation for the damages that Iran suffered during the war that broke out on February 28.
