(The Center Square) – Talks to strike a deal with Iran will reconvene this week ahead of Wednesday’s ceasefire expiration as President Donald Trump issued fresh threats Sunday on the Islamic Republic.
Trump says Iran violated the ceasefire agreement when it fired on cargo ships in the Strait of Hormuz Saturday, as the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed it closed the vital waterway, a reversal of a Friday announcement that it had agreed to open the strait.
“Iran decided to fire bullets yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz — A Total Violation of our Ceasefire Agreement! Many of them were aimed at a French Ship, and a Freighter from the United Kingdom,” the president posted on Truth Social Sunday.
Following last weekend’s marathon talks between the U.S. and Iran in Pakistan that failed to secure a deal, Trump confirmed the U.S. will return to the negotiating table, saying his representatives will arrive Monday evening.
It has been reported that Vice President JD Vance will once again lead the delegation, along with Middle East Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
Ahead of the talks, the president is reissuing a dire warning to the Iranian regime, threatening to target its energy infrastructure and bridges.
“We’re offering a very fair and reasonable deal, and I hope they take it because, if they don’t, the United States is going to knock out every single power plant, and every single bridge in Iran,” Trump wrote. “They’ll come down fast, they’ll come down easy and, if they don’t take the deal, it will be my honor to do what has to be done, which should have been done to Iran, by other presidents, for the last 47 years. It’s time for the Iran killing machine to end.”
