Trump's Iran Warning: Bombs or Deal?

0:00President Trump just dropped a heavy warning as this two-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran hits his deadline Wednesday night, U.S. time. He straight-up said if Iran doesn't take a deal, a ton of bombs are about to start dropping. Tensions are sky-high with peace talks on the table in Pakistan, but nothing's locked in yet. Meanwhile, a top Iranian official says they're positively looking at joining those talks, a shift from their earlier no-way stance, but no final call and reports of Vice President J.D. Vance heading to Islamabad got shot down. He's still stateside, Pakistan's playing mediator, pushing hard to end the U.S. blockade that's blocking progress. The ceasefire nearly crumbled after the U.S. military hit an Iranian cargo ship, the Tuska, on its way from China. Marines repelled from helicopters, disabled the engines after a six-hour standoff, suspecting a carried military gear. Iran called its straight piracy and vowed payback, but held off because crew families were aboard.

1:00China, Iran's big oil buyer, voiced serious worry over the four stop, with President Xi pushing for normal shipping in the straight and diplomatic. Fixes, Pakistan's top guy, Field Marshal Aseem Weneer, even told Trump the blockade's killing talks, and Trump said he'd think it over, Islamabad's lockdown tight with nearly 20,000 security folks ready, even if the talks are up in the air. Things are on Iran for that final word, as the clock ticks down, would move they make next, could spark fireworks, or finally cool this fire.
