Iran said on Wednesday it was examining a new US proposal to end the Middle East war, as President Donald Trump described the talks as being on the "borderline" between a deal and renewed strikes. Ghalibaf warned of a "forceful response", while Iran's Revolutionary Guards said any renewed conflict would spread far beyond the Middle East.

Donald Trump warned that the 'clock is ticking' for Iran, adding in a post on Truth Social that Tehran 'better get moving fast, or there won't be anything left of them.'
