‘Clock is Ticking or There Won’t Be Anything Left of Them’: Trump’s New Warning To Iran

By Geller Report Staff - on May 18, 2026

With Trump back from Beijing, watch to see what happens this week as the Iranian regime continues to demonstrate their true colors. The report comes from

Axios: President Trump told Axios in a phone call that “the clock is ticking” for Iran and warned that if the Iranian regime doesn’t come with a better offer for a deal “they are going to get hit much harder.” … Trump is expected to convene his top national security team in the Situation Room on Tuesday to discuss military options, two U.S. officials said. Trump spoke Sunday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the situation in Iran. Trump met Saturday with members of his national security team at his Virginia golf club to discuss Iran, a source with knowledge said. Attendees included Vice President JD Vance, White House envoy Steve Witkoff, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CIA Director John Ratcliffe. State of play: Pakistan’s interior minister visited Tehran on Saturday and Sunday for talks with senior Iranian leaders about the deal for ending the war. Pakistan is the official mediator between the U.S. and Iran (Axios).

President Trump must stop these asinine negotiations with Iran. He must allow the U.S and Israeli Air Forces to destroy the remainder of Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure. Otherwise Iran’s leaders will survive beyond President Trump’s second term. Enabling them to rebuild and fight another day. And then all of the spectacular military successes that have been achieved will have all been for nothing.
