JAKARTA - US President Donald Trump said he was not sure whether an agreement would be reached soon between the US and Iran because negotiations on the nuclear program and the ongoing conflict continued without a resolution.
"I don't know. If they don't do it, they will face a very bad situation. They have an interest in reaching an agreement," the US president told BFMTV correspondents in the US, which was quoted by Antara from Anadolu Saturday.
According to several media reports, Trump is expected to decide in the coming hours whether to continue the attack on the Iranian regime or not, as talks aimed at ending the conflict and addressing Iran's nuclear program have so far failed to reach an agreement.
Regional tensions have remained high since the US and Israel launched an attack on Iran on February 28, which triggered a retaliatory attack by Tehran against Israel and US allies in the Gulf countries, along with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
The ceasefire came into effect on April 8 through Pakistani mediation, but talks in Islamabad failed to produce a lasting deal.
Trump then extended the ceasefire indefinitely while still imposing a blockade on ships sailing to or from Iranian ports through the strategic waterway.
