United States President Donald Trump on Sunday issued a fresh warning that there would be nothing left of Iran if it rejects the peace deal.

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.

What are America's 5-point demands?

According to Iran's semi-official news agency Fars, the US has placed five major conditions before Iran for talks.

  • Iran should hand over its uranium reserves to the US
  • Tehran must accept strict limits on its nuclear program
  • Reduce regional military activities
  • Allow full international inspection
  • Agree on security pacts with Western countries

The report also claimed that the US refused to release even 25 per cent of Iran's frozen assets and refused to compensate for the losses incurred during the war.

Iran's conditions also became a major obstacle

On the other hand, Iran has also made many demands on its part.

  • Tehran wants the war to end on all fronts, including Lebanon.
  • The ongoing tension with Israel should be ended.
  • The US should lift the naval embargo imposed on Iranian ports.
  • Economic sanctions against Iran should be eased.
  • There is no consensus between the two countries on these issues.

About a month ago, the US and Iran agreed to a temporary ceasefire. However, the agreement is fragile, and no concrete progress has been made between the two countries.

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East is also impacting the global economy. Crude oil prices have risen in the international market due to the disruption in oil supplies. This has put pressure on stock markets and business activity around the world.
