Former President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he anticipates the United States will resume bombing Iran as a fragile 14-day ceasefire nears its end on Wednesday, with no agreements reached. In an interview with CNBC, Trump stated, “I expect to be bombing because I think that’s a better attitude to go in with,” emphasizing that the military is prepared for action. He dismissed the possibility of extending the ceasefire, asserting that the US is in a strong negotiating position. Trump accused Iran of violating the ceasefire multiple times, which he suggested could justify renewed military action. Despite this, he mentioned the potential for ongoing negotiations, with JD Vance and Iran’s parliamentary speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, set to meet in Islamabad. The fluctuating tone of Trump's statements has created confusion regarding US intentions, oscillating between the prospect of a deal and warnings of imminent military action. Iran's leadership has firmly rejected negotiations under threats, with military officials promising a decisive response to any renewed hostilities. The escalating tensions have already impacted global energy markets, with the head of the International Energy Agency describing the situation as “the biggest crisis in history.”
