Khaberni - U.S. President Donald Trump, today, Monday, issued a stern warning regarding the outcomes of the conflict with Iran, confirming that the upcoming hours would be crucial as the ceasefire's expiration approaches on Tuesday.
Trump said in a phone interview with the American "PBS" network that the failure of diplomatic efforts to extend the ceasefire would immediately lead to a full-scale confrontation, expressing this by saying, "a lot of bombs will explode if the ceasefire ends."
The American President emphasized that the fundamental demand of the United States in the upcoming Islamabad negotiations is "to strip Iran of any nuclear capability," describing this goal as straightforward and non-negotiable.
He added that the American team he sent for the negotiations, led by his son-in-law Jared Kushner, is exclusively focused on preventing Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Regarding the economic implications, Trump expressed confidence that global fuel prices would significantly drop if an agreement ending the war is reached, pointing out that the ball is now in Iran's court to do what is necessary to end the crisis.
Trump to New York Post: I am ready to meet with Iranian officials if the negotiations see a breakthrough
U.S. President Donald Trump revealed his readiness to have a direct meeting with the Iranian leaders should the expected negotiations in the Pakistani capital Islamabad yield positive results.
Trump confirmed in an interview with the "New York Post" that a high-level American delegation led by Vice President "Jay D. Vance" is currently on its way to Pakistan to resume talks with the Iranian side.
Trump clearly stated, "I have no problem meeting with the Iranian leaders; if they desire it, I am ready."
The American President indicated that the current stage does not tolerate "maneuvering or playing," referring to the seriousness Washington attaches to this round of negotiations aimed at ending the conflict and preventing Tehran from possessing nuclear weapons.
In response to a question about the expected scenarios if the diplomatic path fails and the talks collapse, Trump refrained from going into detail but issued an implicit warning by merely stating that the consequences "would not be nice," a comment that observers link to previous American threats of increased military pressure and continued strict naval blockade on Iranian ports.
These statements come at a time when the international community anticipates the results of the new round of talks in the Pakistani capital, amid continuing strict American naval blockade and escalating warnings of sliding the region into a regional war of wide scale if the temporary ceasefire agreement collapses.
