President Donald Trump warned that “there won’t be anything left” of Iran if a peace deal is not reached, as a fragile truce continues to unravel amid renewed drone attacks targeting U.S.-aligned interests in the Gulf.
The United States, engaged in a prolonged conflict with Iran following joint U.S. and Israeli strikes in late February, has struggled to break the diplomatic deadlock. The war has destabilized parts of the Middle East and pushed global energy prices higher.
“For Iran, the clock is ticking, and they better get moving fast, or there won’t be anything left of them,” Trump wrote Sunday on Truth Social. “Time is of the essence.”
Efforts to broker a lasting agreement have continued through intermediaries, including Pakistan, but talks have stalled as the temporary truce remains under pressure.
On Sunday, several Gulf states reported new drone activity. Saudi Arabia said it intercepted three drones entering its airspace from Iraq, while the United Arab Emirates said a drone caused a fire at the Barakah nuclear power plant after entering from the west, part of a wave of UAV incursions across the region.
