[00:00:00]President Trump is warning Iran that time is running out to reach a lasting end to this conflict, saying the country needs to move fast or risk severe consequences. So, posting on Truth Social on Sunday, he said, quote, "Time is of the essence." And he shared quite a few of these AI-generated images. This one shows him about to press a nuclear button. At the same time, Iran's military adviser said on state television that Iran's forces were prepared while diplomacy was still ongoing, reflecting the tense mix of threats and negotiations. The warnings come after Trump reportedly spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as an already fragile US-Iran ceasefire faced new pressure. So, after the president's threat, former Georgia GOP Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene took a stance against any potential US military involvement in Iran, escalating her long-running opposition to foreign military interventions. She warned that if US troops were sent into Iran, it would trigger a major political backlash at home, saying it could lead to a political revolution in the United States. In her view, public anger over another Middle East war would be intense enough to reshape the political landscape and unify a broad coalition against continued military engagement abroad. Greene has been very vocal about her stance on the Iran conflict, and she's criticized Trump's remarks on the Iran situation, arguing that he could be paying more attention to domestic issues like inflation and the cost of living.
