Amid rising tensions between Washington and Tehran, United President Donald Trump on Monday posted a Middle East map on social media showing "red arrows" directed at Iran. The map was overlaid with the American flag. The post came after Trump on Sunday issued a fresh warning that there would be nothing left of Iran if it rejects the peace deal.
Trump's Warning To Iran
Trump's latest threat message to Tehran came after Washington shared a five-point list with Iran that included a 400 kg uranium transfer, no unfreezing of Iranian assets, etc.
In a post on Truth Social, the United States President said, "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."
Earlier, Trump also spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. During the call, Trump briefed Netanyahu on his recent trip to China. It is believed that the US and Israel are pursuing a common strategy to counter Iran's nuclear program and regional influence.
