US EditionTrump warns US may ‘drop bombs again’ if no Iran deal by ceasefire deadline
Trump said the U.S. could resume military action if negotiators fail to reach a deal on Iran’s enriched uranium by Wednesday.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump warned the U.S. may not extend the ceasefire with Iran if a long-term agreement is not reached by Wednesday, stating he would "have to start dropping bombs again" if negotiations fail.

- With negotiators expected to meet on Monday, global markets face uncertainty as about 20% of global petroleum supply transits the Strait of Hormuz, where failure to reach a deal could trigger broader economic instability.
