“Iran’s clock is ticking. It will be better for them to move quickly or there will be nothing left of them,” Trump wrote on his social network after a conversation with the Israeli prime minister. “Time is of the essence,” he added.
According to Israeli media, Trump and Netanyahu talked about the possibility of renewed attacks on Iran and about Trump’s trip to China.
The American president already warned on the way from Beijing that the Iranians will either accept the agreement or be decimated. He compared the ceasefire to a patient who “depends on the massive support of devices”.
After the conversation with Trump, Netanyahu decided to call top advisers and ministers to his office for a security discussion, The Times of Israel wrote. Israeli sources reported already at the weekend that a decision is being made to resume strikes on Iran.
Negotiations between the US and Iran have stalled because they have incompatible demands. Trump swept Iran’s latest proposal off the table. According to Iranian sources of the FARS agency, the United States has refused to pay reparations, and is demanding that Tehran hand over 400 kg of enriched uranium and limit its nuclear program to a single device. This was reported by the Institute for the Study of War.
The US also refuses to release more than 25 percent of frozen assets. The US will end the war only if the negotiations are successful, the FARS agency wrote. According to Iranian sources, Washington also offers no guarantees that it will not attack Iran again.
However, Iranian Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said last week that Iran will not act until the US meets Tehran’s demands. The United States should end the war on all fronts, lift sanctions, release frozen Iranian assets, come up with compensation for war damages, and recognize Iran’s sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.
