Time is running out for a deal, U.S. President Donald Trump warned the Iranian regime on Sunday.

“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! President DJT,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

The president was expected to talk on the phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday, with the premier saying on Sunday morning that “our eyes are also open regarding Iran.”

Meanwhile, an Israeli source told Kan News on Sunday that with a green light from Trump, Washington and Jerusalem are expected to jointly attack Iran, with the country’s national energy infrastructure on the target list. The Israeli public broadcaster noted that the White House had requested it not be attacked in the previous round, the American “Operation Epic Fury” and Israeli “Operation Roaring Lion” launched jointly on Feb. 28 with a ceasefire holding since April 8.

Iran’s leaders increasingly believe Trump will resume military action, and they are pursuing a strategy of “deception and delay” to buy time and complicate any return to war, according to two regional intelligence officials cited by Fox News on Sunday.

The gunman posed an immediate threat and was targeted in a precision strike, the military said.
Jerusalem will not allow “any breach of the lawful naval blockade on Gaza,” the Foreign Ministry said.
Regional security officials said it was used during operations targeting Tehran in 2025 and 2026.
Earlier forecasts feared a 9.5% drop in GDP in the first quarter, but current data point to a much more positive outcome.
The incursion was said to be the fourth within 24 hours and the 14th since the Bashan Pioneers group was founded.
The targets included weapons storage facilities, observation posts and other infrastructure used to plan attacks on Israeli troops and civilians.
