"Won't Be Anything Left Of Them": Trump's "Clock Ticking" Warning To Iran

After Tehran's lukewarm response to the US' five-point list for Iran talks, Donald Trump has issued a fresh warning. The US president warned that there won't be anything left of Iran unless it agrees to a deal.

"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," US President Donald Trump posted on his social media platform, Truth Social.

Trump's latest threat comes hours after he spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday. The two leaders discussed the possibility of renewed fighting with Iran, while Trump also briefed Netanyahu on his recent visit to China, Israeli news outlet Kan reported.

Earlier, Iran's semi-official Fars news agency reported that the US had presented a five-point list, which included uranium transfer to Washington and put nuclear limits on Tehran.

According to the report, the US also refused to release even 25 per cent of Iran's frozen assets or pay for the damage inflicted on Iran during the war.

Earlier in its proposal, Iran called for an end to the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, a key point of contention with Israel. Tehran has also demanded US halt the naval blockade of Iranian ports.

It has been over a month since the US and Iran agreed to a fragile ceasefire deal, but further talks remain stalled as both sides refuse to concede on their demands. Meanwhile, ongoing efforts have failed to end a war that has choked the global energy supply, driving up oil prices and sending shockwaves through the markets.

The war has placed severe pressure on the American economy, fast becoming a weak spot for the Republican president ahead of the midterms in November. Officials familiar with the talks told Axios that while Trump wants a deal to end the conflict, Iran's rejection of his demands and its refusal to yield on its nuclear program have put the military option back on the table.

India responded on Wednesday with precision missile strikes on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. PM Modi, who is closely-monitoring the situation, has reportedly asked for his visit to Croatia, Norway, and the Netherlands, which was due next week, to be rescheduled.

After Nitish Kumar's 'Praise', BJP Says Doors Closed For Him

The opposition BJP in Bihar on Thursday said that its doors were "closed" for Chief Minister Nitish Kumar who dumped the saffron party a year ago, stripping it of power in the state. State BJP President Samrat Choudhary made the averment to this effect in reply to queries from journalists about the Janata Dal United leader's address to the convocation ceremony of Mahatma Gandhi Central University at Motihari. Speaking in the presence of President Droupadi Murmu and Governor Rajendra Arlekar, Mr Kumar had freely spoken of the tussle he had with the then Congress government at the Centre for getting a university approved for Motihari, where Mahatma Gandhi had launched the Champaran Satyagraha. Without mentioning Prime Minister Narendra Modi by name, Mr Kumar acknowledged that the project saw the light of the day only after a change of guard "in 2014" as the UPA government "initially refused and after much persuasion agreed in principle but did not move for...
