US President Donald Trump is threatening to restart the war against Iran. “The clock is ticking for Iran and they better move FAST or there will be nothing left of them,” he wrote on the Truth Social platform. “TIME IS RUNNING!” The US ally Israel is already preparing for a possible new start of joint attacks in Iran. An Iranian military spokesman warned, according to the Tasnim news agency, that any new “folly” by the US would result in “even more devastating and severe blows.”

The US news portal “Axios” quoted Trump after a telephone interview as saying that Iran would be hit “much harder” than before if the country’s leadership did not come up with a better proposal in the effort to end the war. “We want to conclude an agreement. They are not yet where we want them to be. They have to get there, otherwise they will be hit hard, and they don’t want that,” emphasized the US President.

Options for military action should be discussed there. Options are on the table again.
