WANA (Apr 19) – The U.S. President announced in a message on his social media platform today that his representatives will arrive in the Pakistani capital tomorrow evening to conduct negotiations with Iran.

 

While Iran has not yet confirmed a new round of talks with the American side, no specific date has been officially provided by Tehran.

 

The move follows what the President described as a “total violation” of the ceasefire agreement after Iran reportedly fired on French and British vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

 

Trump issued a warning regarding the future of Iranian infrastructure should the proposed “deal” be rejected:

 

“If they don’t take the DEAL, it will be my Honor to do what has to be done… the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!”

 

The U.S. President downplayed the closure’s impact on the U.S., claiming the blockade costs Iran $500 million a day. However, global energy markets remain volatile; the Strait of Hormuz is a transit point for approximately 20% of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas.

 

He further declared it is “TIME FOR THE IRAN KILLING MACHINE TO END,” framing the potential military action as a necessary step that previous presidents failed to take over the last 47 years.

The spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters announced yesterday that the Strait of Hormuz has returned to its previous state of high-alert restrictions, citing repeated American breaches of faith and ongoing maritime interference.

 

In response to Trump’s threats, Seyed Mohammad Marandi, Iranian political analyst, stated in a post on X :

 

“Leave UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait immediately. Iran will retaliate, destroying everything. These regimes are guilty partners in the genocidal Epstein Coalition and won’t be forgiven. The rising temperatures in the Persian Gulf will soon make them uninhabitable.”

 

The current 14-day ceasefire, brokered by Pakistan earlier this month, is set to expire this Wednesday.

 

Following the ceasefire, Iran and the U.S. held talks on Saturday, April 11 which were mediated by Pakistan. The negotiations were led by Iran’s Parliament Speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, on behalf of Iran and J. D. Vance representing the United States.

 

The negotiations between Iran and the United States in Islamabad concluded without a final agreement, although the two sides reached partial understandings on several issues. Iranian officials have stated that a final agreement remains out of reach due to “excessive demands and a lack of political will” from senior U.S. officials.

 

Observers note that without a breakthrough in Islamabad, the region faces an immediate risk of a return to full-scale conflict.
