Iran has warned that it has been preparing to play new cards on the battlefield if Donald Trumps ceasefire collapses.
The threat from Tehran comes a day before the temporary truce is set to expire, with the US president saying that it is highly unlikely the peace deal with Iran will be extended.
In an X post on Tuesday, Iranian parliamentary speaker, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, said: Trump, by imposing a siege and violating the ceasefire, seeks to turn this negotiating table – in his own imagination – into a table of surrender or to justify renewed warmongering.
We do not accept negotiations under the shadow of threats.
He went on to warn: In the past two weeks, we have prepared to reveal new cards on the battlefield.
Meanwhile, US media have reported that Vice-President JD Vance will travel to Pakistan today for talks, with sources saying that a second round of negotiations is planned for Wednesday in Islamabad.
The US has continued to blockade the Strait of Hormuz after seizing an Iranian-flagged cargo ship on Sunday, with both sides accusing each other of ceasefire violations.
