Trump warns Iran 'clock is ticking' as peace deal progress stalls

U.S. officials are weighing renewed air strikes as Iran rejects key demands and the Strait of Hormuz remains a major sticking point.

  • On Truth Social, President Donald Trump shared a cryptic AI-generated image of warships, fueling speculation that the United States and Israel are preparing for fresh military strikes against Iran.
  • NBC News reported that officials are planning 'Operation Sledgehammer' to distinguish strikes from 'Operation Epic Fury' and evade the 60-day Congressional approval required under the 1973 War Powers Resolution.
  • Potential military operations would target Iran's nuclear sites and Special Operations forces, while focus remains on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, through which nearly 20 to 25 per cent of global crude transits.
  • Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned the Islamic Republic is 'ready to deliver a well-deserved response to any aggression,' stating the world should expect surprises.
  • While the United States and Lebanon agreed to a 45-day ceasefire extension, President Trump has not yet taken a final decision regarding potential military escalation against Iran.
