An hour later, he told CNBC he believes the U.S. will “end up with a great deal” in talks with Iran in Pakistan Tuesday, because Iran has “no choice.”“We’ve taken out their Navy, we’ve taken out their Air Force, we’ve taken out their leaders,” Trump told CNBC, but Trump warned the U.S. military is “raring to go” if a deal isn’t reached.Trump didn’t elaborate on the alleged ceasefire violations, but on Sunday accused Iran of firing at ships attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, which he said was a “total violation of our ceasefire agreement.”Trump said Tuesday the U.S. seized a ship traveling to Iran that might have been carrying “a gift from China”—it’s unclear if he was referring to the Iran-flagged ship seized by the U.S. on Sunday in the Gulf of Oman had been traveling from China and was likely carrying military equipment, Reuters reported Monday.Meanwhile, Iran has said the U.S. blockade of the strait is against the ceasefire, with spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei calling it a “war crime” for “deliberately inflicting collective punishment” on Iranian civilians. TangentTrump also told CNBC Tuesday he was “surprised” the stock market and oil prices hadn’t performed worse amid his war with Iran. “If you would have told me that oil is at 90 [dollars] as opposed to 200 I would be frankly surprised,” he said, adding, “And you know what is happening? Boats are finding other sources. They’re going up to Texas and Louisiana. They’re going to Alaska. They’re going to other places. It’s an amazing phenomenon.”Key BackgroundTrump said Tuesday he is uninterested in extending the ceasefire with Iran past Wednesday and he expects “to be bombing” if the two sides can’t reach an agreement. Publicly, Iran and the U.S. seem far apart on negotiations. Tehran’s enriched uranium is a key sticking point, with the U.S. insisting Tehran give up the material and Iran saying that’s a nonstarter. Vice President JD Vance and other Trump officials are expected to travel to Pakistan Tuesday for talks, but it’s unclear if Iran will attend. Baghaei said Monday Iran has “no plans for the next round of negotiations” and “we don’t believe in deadlines or ultimatums to secure Iran’s national interests.” Further ReadingIran Peace Talks Uncertain, But Could Still Take Place This Week, Reports Indicate (Forbes)U.S. Struck Iranian Ship Challenging Blockade, Trump Says (Forbes)Iran Rejects Trump's Peace Talks (Forbes)
