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.
This is a breaking news story.
