Washington, United States – Web Desk: US President Donald Trump has warned that a temporary ceasefire with Iran may not be extended if ongoing negotiations fail to produce a final agreement by April 22.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said the continuation of the ceasefire would depend on the outcome of diplomatic talks. He indicated that military operations could resume if no breakthrough is achieved.
“I may not extend the ceasefire. The blockade continues, and unfortunately, we may have to resume bombing,” Trump said, signaling a hardline stance amid fragile negotiations.
The current temporary ceasefire, which began on April 8, is set to expire within days. The first round of talks held between April 11 and 12 concluded without any formal agreement.
Trump expressed cautious optimism that a second round of high-level meetings could take place over the weekend, potentially opening the door for further diplomatic engagement.
The developments come at a time of heightened tensions in the Middle East, with global attention focused on the risk of escalation and its potential impact on regional stability and energy markets.
