Iran-Israel war LIVE: ‘Some pretty good news’ for Iran, says Trump without elaborating
Trump says U.S. blockade of Iranian ports will ‘remain’ if no deal reached
President Donald Trump has said he planned to maintain a U.S. blockade of Iranian ports if a peace deal with Tehran is not reached, adding that he may not extend the ceasefire after its expiration.
Iran reopened the Strait of Hormuz on Friday in the wake of a ceasefire deal between Israel and Lebanon, though Tehran threatened to close the vital waterway once again if the US blockade continues.
A ceasefire between Tehran and Washington is due to expire on Wednesday.
“Maybe I won’t extend it, but the blockade is going to remain,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, when asked if the ceasefire will be extended.
Asked about a potential deal, Donald Trump said, “I think it’s going to happen.”
