US President Donald Trump stated that American forces intercepted a ship carrying what he described as a 'gift from China' intended for Iran. Speaking to CNBC, he expressed confidence in the US's negotiating strength with Iran, expecting a 'great deal' despite rising tensions and stalled diplomatic talks. Trump referred to an earlier understanding with Chinese President Xi Jinping regarding no weapons shipments to Iran, indicating his disappointment over the situation. While negotiations are set to resume, Iranian officials have dismissed key US demands as excessive, raising doubts about the talks' success. Trump warned that Iran could benefit from a deal but also hinted at possible repercussions if negotiations fail. The future of a fragile ceasefire remains uncertain as the US prepares for further discussions in Islamabad.
