International, Middle East, North America

WASHINGTON D.C., U.S (NPA) — Donald Trump has warned the Islamic Republic of Iran to move quickly toward reaching an agreement with the United States aimed at resolving the conflict between both nations.

In a terse post shared on Truth Social on Sunday, Trump wrote: “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! President DJT.”

The U.S. president, however, did not specify any deadline or timeframe for Tehran to comply, nor did he elaborate on the consequences Iran could face if negotiations fail.

The growing standoff around the Strait of Hormuz has remained at the centre of the crisis, with both Washington and Tehran making competing claims over control and possible blockades of the critical global oil transit route.

The uncertainty surrounding the conflict has continued to rattle international energy markets, contributing to rising global oil prices.

Analysts say the situation currently appears to be in a state of stalemate as geopolitical tensions continue to deepen amid fears of wider regional instability.

Earlier in a related development, the United Arab Emirates announced that its air defence systems intercepted multiple drones, with one reportedly striking an electrical generator near the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant. The Gulf country said it is investigating the projectiles that came through its southern borders.
