No Deal, No Ceasefire: Trump Threatens Iran with Fresh Strikes
US President Donald Trump said in an interview with CNBC on Tuesday that he does not want to extend the ceasefire with Iran, declaring that Washington would resume attacks if a deal with Tehran was not reached soon.
"I don't want to do that. We don't have that much time", Trump said when asked about the possibility of extending the ceasefire.
Trump maintained that the US is in a strong negotiating position and expects to reach what he described as a great deal. Washington has expressed confidence that negotiations with Iran will continue in Pakistan, and a senior Iranian official said Tehran is considering joining them.
With talks still pending, Trump warned that military action remained an option. "I expect to be bombing because I think that's a better attitude to go in with. But we're ready to go. I mean, the military is raring to go", he told CNBC.
