WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump has stated that US representatives are en route to Islamabad, Pakistan, to continue talks regarding Iran. In a post on Truth Social, he mentioned that the delegation would arrive “tomorrow evening to negotiate.”
Trump emphasized that US negotiators will be in Pakistan this coming Monday to resume discussions aimed at resolving the ongoing conflict with Iran. He also reiterated his stance by warning that, if no agreement is reached, the US might take military action against Iran’s infrastructure, including power plants and bridges.
In his social media message on Sunday, Trump accused Iran of breaching a recent two-week ceasefire by launching attacks in the Strait of Hormuz. He described the Iran actions as provocative and threatening, claiming that Iran fired shots in the Strait, with some aimed at a French vessel and a UK-flagged cargo ship—actions he called “uncalled for.”
Trump asserted that the US is offering Iran a “reasonable and fair deal,” but warned that if Tehran refuses, the United States will destroy Iran’s key infrastructure. “No more Mr. Nice Guy!” he declared, vowing to take decisive action if necessary.
He also pointed out that Iran’s recent declaration of closing the Strait of Hormuz is unnecessary, as the US has already imposed a blockade that effectively controls the passage. He claimed that many ships are now heading toward ports in Texas, Louisiana, and Alaska, benefiting from US sanctions and the IRGC’s actions.
The President reaffirmed that the US is willing to negotiate but will not be blackmailed. He indicated that ongoing talks are still active and hinted at a possible major announcement soon, mentioning that a significant figure might visit the White House in the near future.
Meanwhile, Trump warned Iran that if a deal isn’t reached by Wednesday, the current ceasefire will be considered nullified. He confirmed that restrictions on Iranian ports will stay in place until a comprehensive agreement is finalized.
A high-level White House meeting was convened to assess the latest developments, involving senior officials including Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, special envoy Steve Witkoff, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Dan Caine also participated.
Following the meeting, President Trump told reporters that Iran cannot “blackmail” the United States and that negotiations are making progress. He expressed confidence that the US has adopted a firm stance and indicated that recent negotiations have achieved some consensus, with remaining issues likely minor.
This warning comes as the deadline for the ceasefire approaches, heightening uncertainty about regional stability and the future of negotiations. The US continues to assert its readiness to act decisively to protect its interests and regional security.
