The president of the United States, Donald Trump, assured this Sunday that Iran is running out of time to reach an agreement amid the ceasefire in force since the beginning of April and once again threatened the Islamic Republic with more attacks.

"For Iran, the clock is ticking, and they better get going—quickly!—or there will be nothing left of them. Time is of the essence!" the president wrote on his Truth Social network.

In the midst of the fragility of the truce, Trump blamed Iran for the stagnation of negotiations to end the war that began on February 28, in an interview on Fox News upon returning from a trip to Beijing last week.

He assured that Tehran retracts the agreements reached "the next day", a situation that, he said, has been repeated five times.

“Every time there is dialogue they (Iran) accept everything and then withdraw (…) they were going to give us their nuclear dust and everything we wanted, but every time they close a deal, the next day they act as if we had not had that conversation,” Trump said.

In addition to the explicit message on Sunday, the president published on Saturday an image of himself recreated by artificial intelligence in which it was suggested that the attacks in Iran could be resumed.

Added to its image superimposed on a rough sea with Iranian ships is the phrase “it was the calm before the storm,” so speculation about a return to attacks in the Middle East is increasing.

This Sunday Trump is scheduled to speak with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the American's trip to Beijing and also about the situation in Iran.

The Secretary of War of the United States, Pete Hegseth, avoided specifying military plans in the war in Iran during the two appearances he made this week in the House of Representatives and the Senate at a time when the ceasefire is faltering.

"We have a plan to escalate measures if necessary. We have a plan to reverse the situation if necessary. We have a plan to reallocate resources," Hegseth declared, leaving the Trump administration's next steps in Iran up in the air. EFE
