A senior Israeli official said on Monday night to Kan that Israel was preparing for a possible resumption of hostilities against Iran with the approval of the United States, as no decisive progress had been made in discussions on the Iranian nuclear issue. According to the official, Washington and Tehran remain far from a compromise. “We are all waiting for Trump, but at the moment the parties are not close to an agreement,” he said.
These comments contrast with information reported by Al Jazeera, which stated that US President Donald Trump had assured that an agreement with Iran could be signed as early as Monday in Pakistan, where new talks are being considered.
Earlier in the day, Donald Trump warned in an interview with PBS that if the ceasefire expiring on Tuesday evening ended without an agreement, “many bombs will be dropped.” When asked about Iranian participation in the upcoming round of talks in Pakistan, he acknowledged a high level of uncertainty: “They are supposed to be there. We agreed to go, but they say they never agreed.”
The US president reiterated that the goal of the negotiations remained unchanged: to prevent Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons. “It’s very simple: Iran should not have nuclear weapons,” he insisted.
Meanwhile, Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian accused Washington of seeking the capitulation of his country. In a message posted on X, he stated that Iranians “do not submit to force” and that respect for commitments is essential for serious dialogue. He also recalled Iran’s deep historical mistrust of successive US administrations.
