US President Donald Trump on Tuesday has accused Iran of violating the ceasefire “numerous times”, heightening tensions as the deadline for fresh peace talks between Washington and Tehran approaches with no clear breakthrough in sight.

Posting on Truth Social, Trump alleged repeated breaches by Iran of the temporary truce that had paused weeks of hostilities in West Asia. The two-week ceasefire, which began on April 8, is expected to be extended if talks proceed as planned.

Trump Warns Iran

Trump has warned that if Iran does not make a deal to end the war, he will order strikes to resume, saying “lots of bombs start going off” if the fragile ceasefire expires without a deal, as uncertainty looms over fresh peace talks.

Speaking to PBS News in a phone call on Monday, Trump made it clear that military action could resume immediately if negotiations fail. “Then lots of bombs start going off,” he said when asked about the consequences of the truce ending.

Iran has accused the US of violating the truce, too. It says the ongoing U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports and vessels is a breach of the agreement, and it has thus far refused to commit to new peace talks while the blockade remains in place.

Uncertainity Over Peace Talks

Iranian media has asserted that no delegation from Iran has arrived in Pakistan so far.No Iranian official has yet confirmed plans to send a delegation to Islamabad, where authorities have reportedly been on standby for several days in anticipation of talks.

 

On the US side, JD Vance is expected to lead the American delegation. Tehran, however, has not indicated who might head its team.

 

Iran, earlier, said that it has no plans to send negotiators to Islamabad for a new round of talks with the United States. Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said on Monday Washington had “violated the ceasefire from the beginning of its implementation”, citing the US naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz since April 13, and the overnight capture of an Iranian container ship by the US military as breaches of the truce as well as international law.
