President Donald Trump has made it clear that he does not intend to extend negotiations with Iran beyond the upcoming ceasefire expiration. In an interview with CNBC, Trump expressed his belief that Iran could regain strength through a favorable deal but warned that he expects to resume military actions if no resolution is achieved. He stated, “I expect to be bombing because I think that’s a better attitude to go in with.” This warning comes as U.S. negotiators, led by Vice President JD Vance, prepare to travel to Pakistan to negotiate a resolution to the conflict that began on February 28. Meanwhile, Iranian officials have shown a willingness to reconsider their stance on negotiations, indicating a potential shift in their approach. They noted that Pakistan is making commendable efforts to mediate and facilitate Iran's involvement in discussions. Despite this, the Iranian parliament's speaker has publicly stated that Iran is reluctant to engage with the U.S. due to grievances with Trump's strategies.
