United States President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Iran has violated the ceasefire “numerous times,” as efforts continue to organize a second round of talks between Washington and Tehran.
“Iran has Violated the Cease Fire numerous times!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social account.
The remarks come as a two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran, brokered by Pakistan on April 8, is set to expire Wednesday.

Pakistan hosted initial talks between the two sides on April 11-12, the first direct engagement since 1979, but the negotiations ended without a breakthrough. Preparations for another round in Islamabad are ongoing, though uncertainty remains.
Trump earlier said it is “highly unlikely” the United States will extend the ceasefire, adding that a naval blockade will remain in place until a deal is reached to permanently end the war that began on Feb. 28.
Preparations for the second round are underway in Islamabad, but participation by the Iranian side remains uncertain. The U.S. side will reportedly again be led by Vice President JD Vance.
