“We don't have that much time,” he told CNBC, insisting that the U.S. is in a strong negotiating position and will likely emerge with a “great” deal.
"I expect to be bombing because I think that's a better attitude to go in with. But we're ready to go. I mean, the military is raring to go," he said.
Reza Amiri Moghadam, Iran’s ambassador to Pakistan, argued the position is “a truth universally acknowledged that a single country in possession of a large civilisation” and said it is “a substantial, Islamic and theological principle.”
The U.S. Navy seized an Iranian ship in the Gulf of Oman over the weekend after it attempted to bypass the U.S. naval blockade. Iran argues both acts—the seizing of the cargo ship and the blockade itself—are violations of the cease-fire.
“Iran has violated the cease-fire numerous times,” Trump said Tuesday morning.
Echoing the sentiments of Moghadam and others, he insisted Iran does not “accept negotiations under the shadow of threats.”

While the U.S. delegation—once again led by Vice President J.D. Vance—are expected in Pakistan this week, Iran has yet to confirm whether it will attend.

Despite the lack of official confirmation, Pakistan has moved to increase security in Islamabad ahead of the planned discussions.
World leaders seek resolution and full reopening of Strait of Hormuz
The full and toll-free reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial passage between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman through which around a fifth of global oil production flows, remains a key priority among global leaders.
The leaders have since confirmed they will establish a defensive multinational mission to protect merchant vessels and conduct mine clearance operations. Per a statement shared after the summit, this will only be enacted “as soon as conditions permit following a sustainable cease-fire agreement” as the mission will be “strictly defensive.”
Iran's long-standing chokehold on the transit of oil and gas has upended the global economy, causing major instability to energy prices around the world. From fuel shortages resulting in more expensive airline tickets to consumers feeling the pinch at gas pumps, the impact of the Strait being used as leverage continues to be felt far and wide.
"The crisis is already huge, if you combine the effects of the petrol crisis and the gas crisis with Russia," he said.
