The two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran is set to expire soon, with President Donald Trump now publicly stating it is 'highly unlikely' he will extend it. Trump made the comment to Bloomberg, directly addressing the status of the temporary agreement. This comes as diplomatic negotiations remain stalled, with Iran having rejected talks and the US maintaining its naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. The expiration of the ceasefire could lead to a resumption of hostilities, with Trump having previously warned of bombing Iran if no deal is reached.
