An American official stated that time for Iran to reach a deal is running out, according to a single-source report. The statement adds to a growing series of U.S. warnings as the 60-day deadline set by President Trump reportedly approaches.
An American official was cited on Wednesday saying that time for Iran is running out, hours after a senior U.S. official had warned that the Trump administration is losing patience and may be heading toward "violent assaults on Iran's infrastructure." As The Zioneer reported on June 10, a senior American official told reporters that President Trump was frustrated with the pace of negotiations and said the U.S. appears to be heading toward opening violent assaults on Iranian infrastructure. That report was followed by the current one-sentence statement, attributed to a U.S. source, that the clock for Iran is expiring. The remarks come as a 60-day deadline that Trump reportedly set for reaching a nuclear deal — first reported by The Zioneer on June 6 — is approaching. The June 6 bulletin noted that Al-Arabiya reported Trump told mediators talks would not extend beyond the deadline, though the report remained unconfirmed by independent sources at the time. U.S. and Iranian tensions have been escalating since early June, including reports of American strikes on Iranian targets that Iranian sources said had concluded on June 9. The latest statement is consistent with a pattern of increasing U.S. pressure, but the single-source nature of the message means its precise context — whether it is a new ultimatum, a description of ongoing talks, or a general assessment — remains unclear.
