Hours of great tension in Iran as mediators continue to work to find a diplomatic solution , while Donald Trump has returned to threatening Tehran : if it does not accept an agreement quickly, "nothing will remain" of the country.

Netanyahu , after a phone call with the tycoon, said he was ready for any scenario but also asked the American president to make a decision.

"Iran is running out of time: they better get moving —and fast!—or there will be nothing left of them. Time is of the essence," warned Trump, who spent the weekend at the White House , meeting with his closest advisers and taking trips to the golf course.

Meanwhile, Tehran , through its Ministry of Foreign Affairs, announced this morning that it had responded to the latest US proposal.

Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah Al Saud and Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani discussed efforts to de-escalate the conflict in a telephone conversation yesterday evening. The Qatari Foreign Minister also spoke with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. The Qatari urged all parties to respond to ongoing mediation efforts to address the root causes of the crisis through dialogue, aiming for a lasting agreement that prevents the conflict from escalating. But Tehran continues to maintain that Washington has not offered any concessions.

According to the Fars news agency, affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, the United States has demanded the withdrawal and return of 400 kg of enriched uranium , the continued operation of only one nuclear site, and no payment for frozen assets. These proposals, according to Tehran, rather than solving the problem, aim to achieve objectives that the United States failed to achieve through war, without conceding anything concrete to Iran.

According to Axios, the Situation Room will convene tomorrow. Some media reports suggest that the US president has obtained a commitment from China not to supply weapons to Tehran.
