Just ahead of crucial peace talks in Islamabad, former US President Donald Trump has issued a strong warning to Iran, raising concerns over the fragile ceasefire. Trump stated that Iran “is alive only for negotiations” and claimed that it no longer holds any strategic leverage. He accused Tehran of merely applying pressure and attempting to extract gains through control of key maritime routes. Trump further warned that if the ongoing talks fail, the US could resume “massive strikes” and heavy bombing against Iran. His remarks come at a sensitive moment, just hours before negotiations are set to begin, potentially escalating tensions. While diplomatic efforts aim to extend the ceasefire and find a long-term solution, such statements underline the volatility of the situation. With both sides maintaining strong positions, the success of the talks remains uncertain, and the risk of renewed conflict continues to loom over the region.
