President Donald Trump threatened Iran on Sunday to “take action” or face new consequences.
“The clock is ticking for Iran and they better act FAST or there will be nothing left of them,” Trump said. Real Social mail “TIME IS ESSENTIAL!”
Trump did not detail exactly what the consequences would be or what he expected Iran to do to avoid them.
The United States and Iran have been at odds over talks to end the war since a tenuous ceasefire was reached in early April. While the United States continues to blockade Iranian ports, Iran has also been closing the Strait of Hormuz since the beginning of the conflict.
However, the apparent threat is not the first time Trump has threatened Tehran with harsh statements on social media. Before the ceasefire in April, Iran warned that if it did not bow to US demands, “an entire civilization will die tonight and will never be brought back.” He has previously threatened to strike civilian infrastructure, including Iran’s power plants and bridges, which could constitute a war crime.
Closing the strait, which is a critical channel for oil, damaged the economy. oil prices are rising globally and gasoline prices are rising rapidly in the U.S. The national average price of gasoline in the U.S. was $4.51 per gallon on Sunday. According to AAA.
The United States demands that Iran give up its nuclear program and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iran demands compensation for the damage caused by the war, the lifting of the blockade and an immediate end to hostilities, including in Lebanon.
