Trump warns Iran if ceasefire ends without a deal says 'lots of bombs start going off'

US President Donald Trump issued a stark warning on Monday, bluntly declaring that if the fragile two-week ceasefire with Iran expires Tuesday evening without a breakthrough, "then lots of bombs start going off."

Speaking to PBS News, Trump was blunt when asked what would happen if the ceasefire expires tomorrow evening. "Then lots of bombs start going off," he replied. When pressed on whether Iran would still show up for the planned talks in Islamabad, the US President sounded uncertain but determined. "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."

Trump warned Iran as the US delegation prepared to return to the negotiating table for the second round of talks in Pakistan amid deep uncertainty over Tehran’s participation. With the clock ticking



toward the April 22 ceasefire deadline, a temporary truce has halted direct hostilities. Both sides remain locked in a high-stakes standoff over Iran’s nuclear ambitions and ongoing disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.

He made clear that the core demand remains unchanged. "No nuclear weapons. Very simple. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Very simple," he said, repeating the red line that has defined Washington’s position throughout the crisis.

The US President expressed confidence in his negotiating team, describing them as his "A-team" and defending his son-in-law Jared Kushner despite questions about potential conflicts of interest stemming from Kushner’s extensive business ties across the Middle East. "Whether you have business or not, everybody knows that’s the right thing. He’s a very good negotiator," Trump said, adding that Jared Kushner was focused solely on preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear capability.
