Trump accuses Iran of ‘VIOLATING’ ceasefire as regime refuses to meet Vance with hours
Donald Trump has accused Iran of violating the ceasefire with just 24 hours until war is set to restart, as regime officials refuse to meet JD Vance in Pakistan.
Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB says no official delegation has traveled to Islamabad to meet with the Vice President. The ceasefire is set to expire Wednesday at 8:00 pm ET.
‘Iran has Violated the Cease Fire numerous times!’ Trump wrote on Truth Social Tuesday.
The President’s statement comes after Tehran threatened to ‘reveal new cards on the battlefield’ should the war resume.
Mohammed-Bagher Ghalibaf, the Islamic Republic’s parliamentary speaker, said Monday the regime is ‘prepared’ to renew fighting against US-Israel forces in the Middle East.
‘We do not accept negotiations under the shadow of threats, and in the past two weeks, we have prepared to reveal new cards on the battlefield,’ he wrote on X.
Trump, meanwhile, has vowed to target energy infrastructure should diplomacy fail, adding, ‘Then lots of bombs start going off.’
Peace talks have slowed in recent days as Tehran refuses to suspend its nuclear program or hand over its enriched uranium stockpile to the US. Trump has further inflamed tensions by imposing a naval blockade on the Strait of Hormuz, sending oil and gas prices skyrocketing.

Vance is expected to arrive to Pakistan before the ceasefire expires, according to multiple reports.
It remains uncertain whether Iran will actually attend the event or leave the Vice President alone at the negotiating table in Islamabad.
Multiple Tehran-backed news agencies say regime officials have no plans to meet with US officials for another round of peace talks.
However, the Associated Press reports that Pakistani mediators have confirmed Vance and Iran’s Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf will both arrive in Islamabad tomorrow for negotiations.
