Trump reveals ‘maybe he WON’T extend ceasefire with Iran’ as it’s set to expire in just days: ‘Start dropping bombs again’

President Donald Trump has announced that he is considering not extending the ceasefire with Iran just days ahead of its set expiry date as he threatens to drop more bombs. 

Trump announced on Friday night that he may consider not extending the ceasefire with Iran, which is set to expire next week. 

The President told News Nation’s Kellie Meyer that, instead, he unfortunately may have to ‘start dropping bombs again.’

‘I think it’s gonna happen,’ Trump added, referring to the ceasefire deal. 

The announcement comes after Trump told CBS News that Iran had ‘agreed to everything’ and will work with the US to remove its enriched uranium. 

Both sides of the conflict were set to meet this weekend, while the US continues its military blockade of Iranian ports ‘until we get it done,’ the outlet reported. 

Earlier on Friday night, Trump alleged in a post on Truth Social that China’s President Xi Jinping is ‘very happy’ that the Strait of Hormuz would be reopening. 

‘Our meeting in China will be a special one, and, potentially, Historic,’ Trump wrote. 

‘I look forward to being with President Xi – Much will be accomplished!’

On Thursday, China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi told Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi that ‘working to resume normal passage of the strait is a unanimous call from the international community.’

Around 20 percent of China’s oil comes from Iran, with more than half of its total energy supplies coming through the Strait of Hormuz. 

Earlier on Friday night, Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf, suggested on a social media post that the Strait would be closed again if the US Military blockade wasn’t lifted from Iranian ports. 

‘With continuation of the blockade, the Strait of Hormuz will not remain open,’ he wrote on X. 

Ghalibaf claimed that Trump made seven claims in one hour, ‘all seven of which were false.’

‘They did not win the war with these lies, and they certainly will not get anywhere in negotiations either… Passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be conducted based on the “designated route” and with “Iranian authorization.” Whether the Strait is open or closed and the regulations governing it will be determined by the field, not by social media.’

Ghalibaf went on to condemn media warfare and ‘engineering public opinion.’

Earlier on Friday, Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi wrote on X: ‘In line with the ceasefire in Lebanon, the passage for all commercial vessels through [the] Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of the ceasefire, on the coordinated route as already announced by Ports and Maritime Organisation of the Islamic Republic of Iran.’

Trump, however, said at a Turning Point USA event that his plans to reach a ceasefire with Iran are ‘not in any way tied to Lebanon.’

Israel agreed to cut back its assault on Hezbollah as part of the ten day ceasefire deal CBS News reported. Yet, Iran has said that the situation in Lebanon is intertwined with negotiations on a larger scale. 

Access through the Strait was limited by Iran until the deal among Israel and Lebanon was reached, claiming that Lebanon was part of a ceasefire deal stretching 14 days with the US. 

Both the US and Israel have denied that that is the case.
