U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday warned Iran that time was running out for its leadership to act amid continuing tensions across the Middle East and fragile diplomatic efforts aimed at preventing a wider regional conflict.

Speaking as negotiations remained stalled despite a temporary ceasefire arrangement, Trump said “the clock is ticking” for Iran, signaling growing frustration within Washington over the lack of progress in talks.

Meanwhile, authorities in the United Arab Emirates confirmed that a drone strike triggered a fire near the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in Abu Dhabi’s Al Dhafra region on Sunday. Officials said the incident occurred at an electrical generator located outside the plant’s inner perimeter.

The Abu Dhabi Media Office stated that emergency teams quickly responded to the fire and confirmed that no injuries were reported. Authorities also said there was no impact on radiation levels or nuclear safety operations at the facility.

The incident added to rising concerns about regional security as military tensions continue to spread beyond Iran and Israel.

At the same time, Israel launched a major wave of airstrikes in southern Lebanon despite the extension of a truce agreement between Israel and Hezbollah. Israeli officials said the strikes targeted Hezbollah-linked positions and infrastructure after evacuation warnings were issued for several villages in the area.

The renewed military activity has increased fears that the conflict could expand further across the region, especially as diplomatic efforts remain uncertain.

In another significant development, Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi arrived in Tehran on Saturday to support ongoing mediation efforts between Iran and the United States. Iranian media described the visit as part of attempts to facilitate peace negotiations that have struggled to advance despite international pressure for de-escalation.

The Middle East remains in a tense and unpredictable phase, with continued military signaling, drone activity and stalled diplomacy keeping global attention focused on the region’s fragile security situation.
