A senior American official told reporters that President Donald Trump will not continue showing patience toward Iran for much longer. The official urged Tehran to stop what he called 'cheap games' and make serious decisions before it is too late, according to the official's remarks reported Sunday evening.
A senior American official stated Sunday evening that President Donald Trump is running out of patience with Iran, warning that Tehran must stop 'playing cheap games' and make serious decisions 'before it is too late for them.' The remarks, reported by a single news-oriented the source, add to a stream of U.S. warnings as diplomatic talks appear to stall.
Over the past week, The Zioneer has tracked a shift in American posture. On Wednesday, a senior official told reporters that Trump was frustrated with negotiations and that the U.S. appeared to be heading toward 'opening violent assaults on Iran's infrastructure.' Days later, the White House indicated that Trump had not abandoned diplomacy, even as new strikes were authorized, while a separate analyst warned that Trump might be rushing into a flawed deal.
The current statement, attributed directly to a senior American official, stops short of specifying consequences but reinforces the pattern of shrinking patience. No Israeli official comment has been reported. The statement comes as the 60-day deadline set by the Trump administration for a nuclear deal with Iran reportedly approaches.
