President Donald Trump on Sunday threatened consequences for Iran if its leaders do not
act quickly.
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, he wrote in a social media post.
Meanwhile, the president is going to hold a Situation Room meeting with his top national
security team on Tuesday to discuss options for military action, Axios reported, citing
two U.S. officials.
Trump's post on Sunday comes as a drone strike caused a fire at a nuclear power plant in
the United Arab Emirates, officials in Abu Dhabi said on Sunday, at a time when progress
appears to have stalled in efforts to end the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran and restart
shipping in the Gulf.
Iran stepped up such attacks on the UAE earlier this month after Trump announced a naval mission
to try to open the Strait of Hormuz, which he suspended after 48 hours.
