President Donald Trump's recent letter to Iran's supreme leader included a two-month deadline for reaching a new nuclear deal, it was reported Wednesday.

Trump sent a letter to Ali Khamenei seeking a new agreement with Tehran to restrain its rapidly advancing nuclear program and replace the one from which the president withdrew during his first term in office.

Axios reported that a two-month deadline was included in the president's letter, though it was not specified whether the deadline clock begins from the time the letter was delivered or from when negotiations start.

Sources told the outlet that Trump wrote he doesn't want open-ended negotiations and mentioned two months for getting a deal.

The report added that U.S. or Israeli military action against Iran's nuclear facilities would dramatically increase if Iran rejects Trump's outreach and doesn't negotiate.
