US President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning that he may resume bombing Iran if a peace deal is not reached before the current ceasefire concludes. With the ceasefire set to expire on Wednesday, Pakistan has taken the mediating role, encouraging both nations to give diplomacy a chance.

Trump expressed his willingness to escalate military actions against Iran if negotiations fail. Despite the heated situation, Trump conveyed optimism over reaching a 'great deal' that aligns with US interests, including preventing Iran from attaining nuclear weapon capabilities.

As the deadline looms, both countries remain engaged in dialogue facilitated by Pakistan. Tehran aims to leverage the strategic Strait of Hormuz in negotiations. Efforts by regional powers continue as stakes remain high for lasting peace and stability in the region.
