President Donald Trump confirmed that the U.S. has no plans to extend its ceasefire with Iran on Monday.
Trump made the statement during an interview with PBS News after he was asked what will happen if the deadline is reached Tuesday evening without a peace deal.
"Then lots of bombs start going off," Trump said.
On the status of peace talks in Pakistan, Trump said simply, "I don't know."
"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 said.

My impatience with the President on this has evolved into a strong suspicion that he wants to exhaust every diplomatic angle possible, even if he knows full well Iran never plans to cooperate on any level.....because once he does pull the trigger iran will never be the same again.....and I think that really is the only way to rid the world of these blood thirsty bullies once and for all.

Less taco. More Tuco.
The IRG faction, which claims to run the country, is in the crosshairs.
Strategic airstrikes, and Allah’s goat virgins, awaits these maniacs before the week is out.
That dude was one of the scariest characters I’ve ever seen.
The scariest part?.....there’s REAL psychos out there that bad.....and without a doubt much worse.
By any means necessary, Trump will not blow it.
Stop announcing it, and just do it.
Did you announce when you took out the top-level nut bags?
Drop your bombs between the minarets.
C what U did there, BL!
They need to start going off NOW.
I want to believe the president on this condition, but I do not. He has made threats like this before, breathtaking threats “A whole civilization will DIE tonight!” if Iran does not make a deal. (April 7th, 2026).
And, here we are today. I’m glad we are still negotiating with Iran, b/c, like most of us here, I dont want our American youth to end up on the ground in the Middle East if there is any other way to destroy Hezbollah.
The Persians seem unwilling or unable to take matters into their own hands.
Too bad. Would have been better for them.
In any case, if the leadership insists on behaving like 6th century savages, we can help them recreate the milieu.
Bombs Away!
he’s trying to appease the unappeaseables
the ones that wanted to contiune to ignore the problem forever.
I suspect once again at the 11th hour iran will yell “wait, we want to talk”......it is their MO after all to delay delay delay.
If they pull that shit this time President Trump just needs to say TOO DAMNED LATE, YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE.
My guess is Trump needed time to rearm.
Tuco Salamanca was an absolute psycho.
Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez was a bandit with a very loose set of morals.
In fiction ...
“...that really is the only way to rid the world of these blood thirsty bullies once and for all...”
Maybe a few that are still there. The leaders are out of the country in safe haven somewhere. And hamas is all over the world.
“...he wants to exhaust every diplomatic angle possible...”
He has made it a point from the beginning he wants to make Iran a prosperous country not driven by terrorist groups. He won’t be able to do that if he wipes out the infrastructure and takes out resources important to the rebuilding. Because we are a God fearing country, well a lot of it is, we need to be honest and superior to our enemies and give them a chance to conform. They most likely won’t, but we did it right.

Somebody in Iran is likely to yell “Wait!!” but who, and where is this person in the pecking order of defensive influence? I get the impression several Iranian groups are claiming to be “The Deciders”.
The closure of the Straight of Hormuz has exposed the stupidly of the green Eurotrash as fuel supplies skyrocket and their economies shut down. They don’t have enough energy due to their insane, stupid policies so watching them fail about an incoherent rage is very satisfying. This war also is savaging China’s economy and it will make them think twice about ever challenging the United States. Because Trump forced America to be energy independent he can now make these geopolitical moves while the entire globalist world has their pants down.
I’m loving it!
Trump says a lot of things.
Surely he knows you can’t negotiate with terrorists.
