Trump threatens Iran as his envoys head to Pak for 2nd round of talks
Donald Trump confirmed that his special envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, will arrive in Islamabad on Monday evening for the next round of talks.
SECOND ROUND OF TALKS IN ISLAMABAD
Speaking to The New York Post, Trump confirmed that his special envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, will arrive in Islamabad ahead of the next round of talks. "Steve’s going to be going there tomorrow night," Trump said, adding that the discussions are expected to resume shortly after his envoy’s arrival
Trump added that Vice President JD Vance will not travel to Pakistan. Earlier in the day, US envoy to the United Nations, Mike Waltz, and US Energy Secretary Chris Wright had indicated that JD Vance would lead the negotiations in Islamabad.
However, the tone of the message quickly shifted from negotiation to outright threat. Trump warned that failure to accept what he described as a "fair and reasonable deal" would trigger a large-scale military response targeting Iran’s infrastructure.
In his Truth Social post, he accused Iran of breaching a ceasefire agreement by opening fire in the Strait of Hormuz, claiming international vessels were targeted. "Iran decided to fire bullets yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz -- A Total Violation of our Ceasefire Agreement! Many of them were aimed at a French Ship, and a Freighter from the United Kingdom. That wasn’t nice, was it?" he wrote.
Trump also claimed that Iran’s actions were sabotaging its own economy with disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. "They’re helping us without knowing, and they are the ones that lose with the closed passage, $500 Million Dollars a day! The United States loses nothing," Trump claimed.
The US President further claimed that energy shipments were being redirected to American ports, adding: "Many ships are headed, right now, to the US, Texas, Louisiana, and Alaska, to load up, compliments of the IRGC, always wanting to be 'the tough guy!'"
'NO MORE MR NICE GUY'
Despite willingness to negotiate, Trump said: "We’re offering a very fair and reasonable DEAL, and I hope they take it because, if they don’t, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran."
"NO MORE MR. NICE GUY! They’ll come down fast, they’ll come down easy IT’S TIME FOR THE IRAN KILLING MACHINE TO END!" he added.
