CNN said Trump met with top members of his national security team on Saturday at his Virginia golf club, with Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and special envoy Steve Witkoff attending.

Axios reported Trump told it in a phone call that “the clock is ticking” for Iran and warned that if the Iranian regime does not come with a better offer for a deal “they are going to get hit much harder.”

BBC reported Trump warned Iran the “clock is ticking” as talks to bring the war to an end have stalled, and it said Iranian media reported the US had failed to make any concrete concessions in response to Tehran’s latest proposals.

Mehr news agency was cited by Al Jazeera as saying the US has offered “no tangible concessions” in its latest proposals and accused Washington of seeking to “obtain concessions that it failed to obtain during the war”.

Al Jazeera also quoted Iran’s armed forces spokesperson Abolfazl Shakarchi warning the US that repeating “any folly” would result in “more crushing and severe blows,” and it quoted correspondent Almigdad Alruhaid saying the language is “not acceptable here in Tehran.”

Axios said Trump was expected to convene his top national security team in the Situation Room on Tuesday to discuss military options, after he spoke Sunday with Netanyahu about the situation in Iran.

The dispute is playing out alongside regional security developments, with The Media Line reporting that the UAE Ministry of Defense said air defenses intercepted two of three drones that crossed into the country from the western border and that the third drone struck a generator outside the Barakah nuclear power plant complex in the Al-Dhafra region.

The Media Line quoted UAE defense messaging that it remains prepared “to deal with any threat and respond decisively to any attempt to undermine the country’s security,” and it said investigations are underway to determine the source of the attack.

NewsNation said Trump’s warning came as peace negotiations between the U.S. and Tehran appeared to be at a standstill, and it reported Iran plans to reopen a limited shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz for select commercial vessels.

CNN reported the Pentagon has prepared a series of military target plans should Trump decide to move forward with more strikes, including targeted strikes on energy and infrastructure sites in Iran, while also noting Pakistan’s interior minister Mohsin Naqvi met in Tehran with top Iranian officials including President Masoud Pezeshkian.
