U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that airstrikes on Iran could resume if a long-term peace agreement is not reached by next Wednesday. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Friday, Trump said he might not extend the current ceasefire with Iran and that existing blockades on Iranian ports would remain in place. He added that without a deal, the United States would be forced to restart bombing operations.

The two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran is set to expire on Wednesday. Both countries are engaged in indirect talks aimed at extending the truce, but the first round of discussions in Islamabad ended without an agreement. The White House has stated that the Trump administration remains hopeful about the possibility of reaching a deal.

The warning underscores the fragile state of U.S.-Iran relations and the uncertainty surrounding ongoing diplomatic efforts to prevent renewed hostilities.
