WASHINGTON, May 17 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday threatened consequences for Iran if its leaders do not act quickly.

"For Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they better get moving, FAST, or there won't be anything left of them. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!," he wrote in a Truth Social post.
