On May 1, according to TASS, US President Donald Trump said that he is not sure whether resuming airstrikes against Iran is necessary in the context that the two sides are maintaining a ceasefire.
When asked about the possibility of the US ending the ceasefire agreement, Mr. Trump said that there is no clear decision yet, and left open the possibility of continuing or not continuing military actions. He also said that Iran wants to reach an agreement.
Regarding the negotiation process, Mr. Trump said that information is not currently widely publicized and only a few people know the content of the exchanges.
Previously, on February 28, the US and Israel launched a large-scale military campaign against Iran, in which many areas in this country were airstriked. On April 7, Mr. Trump announced that the two sides had reached a ceasefire agreement for two weeks.
According to Iran, the attacks in about 40 days of conflict have killed thousands of people. The number announced by Iran is 3,375 people.
On April 11, Iran and the US conducted several rounds of negotiations in Islamabad. However, the two sides said they had not reached a long-term agreement due to differences in some issues.
On April 21, Mr. Trump announced on the Truth Social platform that the US intends to extend the ceasefire with Iran, which is about to expire at that time.
However, according to Iranian state media, Tehran said that it has no plans to comply with the extension of the ceasefire unilaterally announced by the US, and emphasized that it will prioritize its interests in subsequent decisions.
Mr. Trump's latest statements show that the US stance on Iran is still being considered, in the context that negotiations have not achieved specific results and the ceasefire situation still has many unclear factors.
