President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he does not support extending the truce.By Vered Weiss, World Israel NewsVice President Vance’s planned departure for Islamabad was delayed for several hours Tuesday as uncertainty grew over Iran’s participation in a new round of peace talks, U.S. officials and sources familiar with the matter told Axios.The delay followed Tehran’s failure to respond to the latest U.S. negotiating positions, leaving American officials without clarity on whether Iranian representatives would attend the expected discussions.A U.S. official with direct knowledge of the situation told the New York Times that the lack of response stalled coordination ahead of the trip.The uncertainty comes as a two-week truce involving Iran is set to expire Wednesday, with no clear indication of what actions either side will take once the ceasefire ends.President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he does not support extending the truce, signaling a more rigid U.S. posture as negotiations remain unresolved. Speaking in an interview with CNBC, Trump emphasized Washington’s leverage in the current standoff.“I don’t want to do that. We don’t have that much time,” Trump said when asked about the possibility of extending the ceasefire.He added that the United States was negotiating from a position of strength and expressed confidence in the outcome, saying the U.S. would secure what he described as a great deal.On the Iranian side, internal divisions appeared to persist. Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who led the Iranian delegation during the previous round of talks, did not directly confirm participation in the upcoming discussions but signaled resistance to engaging under current conditions.“Trump, through imposing a blockade and violating the ceasefire, is trying to turn the negotiating table – in his imagination – into a table of surrender or to justify the resumption of warmongering. We do not accept negotiations under threats, and in recent weeks we have prepared to reveal new cards on the battlefield,” Ghalibaf wrote on X.The lack of coordination and opposing positions from both sides have left the status of the next round of talks uncertain as the ceasefire deadline approaches.The post JD Vance’s trip to Islamabad for talks delayed as Iran does not respond appeared first on World Israel News.
