Trump: Extended ceasefire highly unlikely
It is “highly unlikely” that the ceasefire with Iran will be extended beyond Wednesday if no deal is reached, Donald Trump tells Bloomberg.
The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz will remain until a deal is in place, he adds.
– I am not going to be rushed into a bad deal. We have all the time in the world.
Trump “definitely expects” that fighting will resume immediately if the ceasefire expires without a deal, he says.
There is still great uncertainty surrounding the planned new peace talks in Pakistan. Iran has not announced that they will participate, but according to Pakistani sources to Nikkei in Asia, they plan to send a delegation on Tuesday.
Trump says that a US delegation led by JD Vance is on its way to Islamabad. At the same time, a source with insight tells Reuters that Vance is still in the US and has not prepared to go to Pakistan.
Information: Iran sends delegation despite everything
Iran plans to send a delegation to Islamabad for peace talks with the US – despite having said no on several occasions. Official sources in Pakistan told Nikkei Asia. The delegation will arrive on Tuesday.
– Iran did the same thing during the first phase of the talks in Islamabad, but they still came to an end, the source said.
Iran believes that the US has not acted seriously during the diplomatic process, but rather violated the ceasefire.
Trump, however, has reportedly announced that a delegation will land in the city on Monday evening. According to several news agencies, it will be led by Vice President JD Vance, which Donald Trump believes is incorrect.

Analysis: Chances of a Breakthrough Are Small at Best
Much is unclear about the next round of peace talks between the US and Iran, which are planned in Islamabad, Pakistan, at the beginning of the week. The question is whether Iran will even participate. Regardless, the chances of a breakthrough are small at best, writes the BBC's security correspondent Frank Gardner in an analysis.
The small glimmer of hope that existed in the same place a week ago has diminished as Iran has accused the US of breaking the ceasefire, he writes.
Some analysts still believe that Donald Trump's blackmail technique can work, but Gardner points out that Iran rarely responds to public pressure in the way many expect.
"Rather, the country seems to be hardening its stance and signaling that it intends to assert its 'sovereign right' to control the Strait of Hormuz."
Sky News correspondent Sally Lockwood notes that the US seizure of a ship marks the first time the military has used force as part of its naval blockade. She describes it as a “very tense moment” in the war, especially given that the two-week ceasefire expires tomorrow night.
