Trump rules out extending the truce and hopes to achieve a “grand agreement” with Iran: “They have no choice”

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, ruled out this Tuesday the scenario of extending the two-week ceasefire agreed with Iran and which expires in a matter of hours, despite which he has hoped to achieve a “great agreement” with Tehran, ensuring that the Iranian authorities “have no choice” but to negotiate and reach a “great agreement” with Washington.

In statements to the CNBC network, he is confident that the delegations of the United States and Iran will meet in Pakistan, despite the fact that at this time uncertainty reigns after Tehran has refused to negotiate under pressure.

“As I said two days ago, when they said they would not send them, I said they would send them. They have no choice but to send them. I think we are going to end up with a great agreement,” said the North American leader.

In any case, Trump has left aside the option of extending the ceasefire that came into force on April 8, claiming that there will be no time to negotiate this issue when the parties arrive in Islamabad, right on the edge of the truce.

Thus, he has reiterated his optimism with achieving a “great agreement”, in light of the fact that the Iranian interlocutors are “much more rational” than their predecessors, most of whom were eliminated in the offensive launched together with Israel on February 28. “It is a change of regime, whatever you call it,” he indicated.

In any case, the head of the White House has once again combined messages about diplomatic channels with military threats to Iran, ensuring that the US Army can resume attacks and hit infrastructure in Iran.

“It is not my choice and it will also harm them. In the military field,” he indicated, to reiterate that he expects upcoming “bombings” on Iran. “I think it’s a better attitude to go in with, but we are ready to act. I mean, the Army is eager to get into action,” he said.

This message comes in full uncertainty about a new round of contacts in Islamabad after Tehran has not confirmed for now whether it will be present and denounce violations by Washington of the ceasefire.
