Iran has said that by imposing a blockade and violating the ceasefire, Trump seeks to turn the negotiating table into a table of surrender or to justify renewed warmongering.

Washington:
The future of the second round of peace talks between Iran and the United States, planned to take place this week in Pakistan, remains uncertain after officials in Tehran threatened not to attend after the US seized an Iranian-flagged vessel near the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend. The two-week ceasefire between Tehran and Washington is set to expire on Wednesday, with US President Donald Trump saying it's highly unlikely that it will be extended.

Iran has, meanwhile, said that by imposing a blockade and violating the ceasefire, Trump seeks to turn the negotiating table into a table of surrender or to justify renewed warmongering.

"We do not accept negotiations under the shadow of threats, and in the past two weeks, we have prepared to reveal new cards on the battlefield," Iran's powerful parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who is Iran's top negotiator in talks with the United States, wrote in a post on X.

Ghalibaf also threatened that Tehran had "new cards" if war resumes with the United States and Israel. "We do not accept negotiations under the shadow of threats, and in the last two weeks we have been preparing to show new cards on the battlefield," he wrote on X.

The Hormuz Problem
While both the US and Iran have expressed hope of negotiating an end to the war, they have continued to escalate a standoff in and around the Hormuz Strait, the critical water passage that has emerged as a central issue in peace talks.

What the US Said
The Trump administration has said the US delegation would attend peace talks in Pakistan this week. The US president initially said talks in Islamabad would occur on Tuesday, but that date could be pushed back. Washington is again sending its team lead by Vice President JD Vance for the talks, which also include Trump's Middle East special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner.

However, amid the uncertainty over talks, Trump has issued a stark warning, declaring that if the fragile two-week ceasefire with Iran expires without a breakthrough, "then lots of bombs start going off."

Speaking to PBS News, Trump was asked what would happen if the ceasefire expires. "Then lots of bombs start going off," he said.

"I mean, they're supposed to be there. We agreed to be there, although they say we didn't. But no, it was set up. And we'll see whether or not it's there. If they're not there, that's fine too," he added.

The Contentions
An Iranian official, speaking on condition of anonymity with The Washington Post, said the tone of Trump's public statements and the ongoing US blockade were the two most serious issues threatening talks.


They claimed the two sides largely agreed on the outlines of a deal, but Trump's public "maximalism" risked scuttling the diplomatic progress.

Mediators in Pakistan have also reportedly conveyed similar messages to the Trump administration, warning against strong public rhetoric. They also encouraged the US president to allow the narrative that talks in Islamabad were a "win-win" for Iran and the United States, a Pakistani official told The Post.

Promising military destruction by targeting bridges, infrastructures and power plants fits the definition of a Threat intended to coerce a sovereign nation into a forced agreement. If you sign a contract because of threats, coercion, or violence, the agreement is generally "voidable," meaning it can be cancelled and for this reason the Iranians should refuse to negotiate with the US. They should not even travel to Pakistan.

Iran be letting off all that smoke!

Always on their toes and never lacking!

Orange turd be talking like he is the only one who can let bombs go off!

The problem with sagging soggy diaper wearing buffoon is that, he only thinks of what he can do without weighing possible repercussions.

The IRGC must understand that the so called ‘new cards’ will unleash an unprecedented amount of pain on them in retaliation.

Isreal is more than happy to reduce their cities to Gaza.
Trump is first a businessman, successful one at that before a politician. One question the leaders should ask themselves is if the theocratic agenda is more important than the survival of their nation. Especially when the same population are averse to it.

They’ve tried to curry favor from Muslim nations which have rejected their style of leadership and will never revert back to skewed fundamentalism. Lebanon is in talks with Isreal, the GCC, Jordan, Syria, Egypt and even Pakistan are with the US.

There is no permutation where they win this, they can consult Dr Strange if that would help, but as it stands the US holds all the infinity stones.

You talk a lot of rubbish.

The same hubris and ignorant assurance of US primacy in everything, forgetting that the Americans have NEVER actually won a war in their entire existence.

Israel is the one being reduced to Gaza, because they have no interceptors to stop Iranian missiles.

Unfortunately time is not on Trump side. He is trying to rush everything before midterm election. If his party loses both Senate and HoR, then he should kiss his presidency goodbye. Iran knows this and they will work towards it. His approval rating is now below 40%

You are the warmonger here. Who started this war illegally?. Donald Trump did Not have formal authorisation from the U.S. Congress or the United Nations before illegally initiating the military campaign against Iran on 28 February

The things that have happened; they had to happen, the things that will happen; they have to happen.

What does it cost to be loved and left alone?

You lack the decorum for public discourse. Desist from quoting me.
