Iran has declared its readiness for the conclusion of a ceasefire with the United States, hinting at surprises in the offing while menacing to unleash chaos. The 14-day ceasefire is set to end on Wednesday, with President Donald Trump vacillating between optimism for a potential deal and threats of escalating conflict if no agreement is reached before the deadline.
Tasnim, a semi-official news agency in Iran, has boldly stated that Iran is primed to create havoc for the Americans and Israelis should a war ensue. The agency emphasized Iran’s full preparedness for potential hostilities due to the cessation of negotiations caused by American aggression and the declaration of a maritime blockade.
Furthermore, Iran has disclosed its plans for additional surprises in any forthcoming combat scenarios, revealing military redeployments and new target lists. Iranian state television has issued an alert refuting speculations about talks with the United States, amid internal deliberations within Iran’s theocracy following the US Navy’s seizure of an Iranian vessel.
While there is no confirmation of an Iranian delegation heading to Islamabad for possible talks, US Vice President JD Vance is anticipated to lead the American team. Iranian officials are yet to announce their delegation leader, with the previous talks led by parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf.
Qalibaf has accused the US of seeking Iran’s surrender but affirmed Iran’s readiness to unveil new strategies in battle. Emphasizing a stance against negotiating under threats, Qalibaf’s remarks contrast with Trump’s assertion of no pressure to end the conflict until Iran concedes to his terms, as communicated on his Truth Social platform.
