Trump says clock ticking for Iran, deal will be made only when good for US

Apr 23, 2026, 19:25 GMT+1Updated: 22:32 GMT+1

President Donald Trump said on Thursday time is running out for Iran and insisted any agreement would be reached only when it serves US interests, signaling no urgency from Washington to end the conflict.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump dismissed suggestions he is eager to conclude the war, saying, “I have all the time in the World, but Iran doesn’t — The clock is ticking!”

He argued Iran’s military capabilities have been severely degraded and that a US-led blockade remains firmly in place.

“Iran’s Navy is lying at the bottom of the Sea, their Air Force is demolished, their Anti Aircraft and Radar Weaponry is gone, their leaders are no longer with us, the Blockade is airtight and strong and, from there, it only gets worse — Time is not on their side!” Trump said.

He added that negotiations would proceed strictly on Washington’s terms.

“A Deal will only be made when it’s appropriate and good for the United States of America, our Allies and, in fact, the rest of the World.”
