Watch: Clock is ticking for Iran, says Trump | Above the Fold | 18.05.2026

US President Donald Trump has issued a fresh warning to Iran amid stalled negotiations and rising tensions between Washington and Tehran over Tehran’s nuclear programme and regional security concerns. In a strongly worded Truth Social post, Trump said Iran was running out of time to act, warning of severe consequences if progress was not made quickly.

The remarks come as reports suggest the United States has placed five major conditions before Iran as part of broader efforts to end conflict and instability in West Asia, with disagreements continuing over sanctions, uranium stockpiles and frozen Iranian assets.

“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 Truth Social.
