Trump warns Iran “clock is ticking” until U.S. launches harder strikes

(Barak Ravid – Axios) President Trump told Axios in a phone call that “the clock is ticking” for Iran and warned that if the Iranian regime doesn’t come with a better offer for a deal, “they are going to get hit much harder.”. U.S. officials say Trump wants a deal to end the war, but Iran’s rejection of many of his demands and refusal to make meaningful concessions on its nuclear program has put the military option back on the table. Trump is expected to convene his top national security team in the Situation Room on Tuesday to discuss military options, two U.S. officials said. Trump spoke Sunday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the situation in Iran. – Trump warns Iran “clock is ticking” until US launches harder strikes
