US to Launch Harder Strikes on Iran if Clock Ticking Says Trump

May 18, 2026 • Google News World

US President Donald Trump has issued a warning to Iran, stating that the “clock is ticking” for the country to take action. This comes after a national security team meeting, where Trump reportedly emphasized the need for Iran to make significant changes.

In a recent statement, Trump warned Iran that if it does not comply with certain demands, there will be severe consequences. The exact nature of these demands was not specified in the statement.

The warning has been met with concern from various sources, including financial markets and energy prices. Stock prices have fallen, and oil prices have increased as a result of the announcement.

Separately, reports have emerged of drone attacks on Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. These incidents are unrelated to Trump’s warning to Iran but highlight ongoing tensions in the region.

The situation remains fluid, with further developments expected in the coming days.
