US President Donald Trump warned Iran the "clock is ticking" as talks to bring the war to an end have stalled, CNBC reported on Sunday.

“For Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them,” Trump said in a Truth Social post. “TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!,” Trump added.

Trump did not detail what exactly the consequences would be nor what he expects Iran to do in order to avoid them. The statement came as the US President was due to speak with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Iranian media reported the US had failed to make any concrete concessions in its response to Tehran's latest proposals to end the conflict.
