The US president rejects extending truce as Tehran warns of response and negotiators head to Islamabad
Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he expects to resume bombing Iran, as a fragile 14-day ceasefire approaches its deadline Wednesday with no deal in sight.
“I expect to be bombing because I think that’s a better attitude to go in with,” Trump told CNBC’s Squawk Box. “We’re ready to go. The military is raring to go.”
When asked if he would extend the ceasefire, he replied: “I don’t want to do that. We don’t have that much time.”
He added that the US was in a strong negotiating position and would ultimately secure what he called a great deal – though on what timeline, and at what cost, remained unclear.
