Following strongly-worded warnings issued on Sunday urging Iran to move quickly toward a deal or else "there will be nothing left of it," US President Donald Trump renewed his threats on Monday.

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump hinted that US strikes against Iran could come from every direction. The post featured a map of Iran showing US strikes targeting the country from the north, south, east, and west.
He also republished an earlier image depicting US airstrikes destroying Iranian boats at sea and US destroyers targeting Iranian aircraft.
"Nothing Left of Them"
This latest warning came after Trump stated on Sunday that "time is running out for Iran, and they better move quickly, or else there will be nothing left of them." He added, "Time is precious!"
This renewed threat comes as Pakistan and regional nations continue their diplomatic efforts to bridge the gap between the United States and Iran, primarily through exchanging solution proposals and counter-responses, despite the current deadlock in talks.
According to Iran's Fars News Agency on Sunday, the Iranian side considers that Washington has failed to offer "any tangible concessions" in its response to Tehran's proposals.
US Conditions
The agency noted that the United States outlined five key demands, most notably requiring Iran to retain only one nuclear facility and transfer its stockpile of highly enriched uranium to Washington.
Furthermore, it indicated that the US administration refused to release Iran's frozen assets abroad—even at a 25% rate—or to pay any compensation for the damages incurred by Iran during the war.
Simultaneously, as part of the Pakistani mediation efforts, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi met in Tehran on Sunday with Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who led his country's delegation in the talks with Washington last month. In a social media post following the meeting, Qalibaf stated that the US and Israeli war has destabilized the entire Middle East.
Notably, since the collapse of the first round of US-Iranian negotiations in Islamabad in early April, the US imposed a suffocating naval blockade on Iranian ports on April 13.
Meanwhile, Tehran has continued to heavily disrupt traffic in the vital Strait of Hormuz—through which one-fifth of the world's oil and gas shipments pass—by issuing threats against commercial cargo vessels.
