President Donald Trump claimed that Iran had violated the cease-fire \u201cnumerous times,\u201d though he did not provide specifics. Iran\u2019s parliamentary speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, countered by accusing Trump of imposing a siege and violating the truce through his port blockade, saying this move seeks to turn peace talks into surrender or to justify renewed warmongering.<\/p>\n<p>Ghalibaf added that Iran had prepared new leverage on the battlefield in recent weeks and would not negotiate under threats. Trump stated that the current cease-fire would expire on Wednesday evening Washington time and indicated he did not plan to extend it. If there is no deal, he suggested fighting could resume and said the United States was prepared to escalate, noting that the military is eager to go.<\/p>\n<p>The discussion of a \u201cforever war\u201d with Iran was echoed by Newt Gingrich, who argued that the United States has already been in a long-running conflict with Iran since 1979.
