‘If Hormuz is not opened, Iran will face the biggest attack ever’: Donald Trump

  • Trump’s threat within 24 hours of ceasefire

  • US–Iran talks in Islamabad on 10th April

  • Possibility of war resuming

President of the United States Donald Trump

Washington DC (USA) – Within just 24 hours of announcing a ceasefire, US President Donald Trump issued a strong warning to Iran. He stated that if the ceasefire conditions are not followed and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is not lifted, Iran will face the largest attack ever carried out. With a meeting between the United States and Iran scheduled for 10th April, Trump’s warning just hours before the talks has cast doubt on the ceasefire. On the other hand, Iran has claimed that the ceasefire is not in effect due to violations of 3 out of 10 conditions.

Our military is ready

Donald Trump said on social media that until the “real agreement” is fully implemented, all US warships, fighter jets, military personnel, and weapons—as well as everything necessary and appropriate to destroy an already significantly weakened enemy—will remain deployed in and around Iran. He added that if, for any reason, the final agreement does not materialise—although he considers that possibility very low—then military action will begin, which will be larger, more powerful, and more intense than anything ever seen before.

Israel carries out 100 attacks on Lebanon in 10 minutes; 254 killed


Israel launched intense attacks on bases of the terrorist organisation Hezbollah in Lebanon just hours after the ceasefire. More than 100 strikes were carried out within 10 minutes, resulting in 254 deaths. Iran condemned the attacks, while the US claimed that stopping attacks on Lebanon was not part of the ceasefire agreement. Following these attacks, Iran has again closed the Strait of Hormuz.

Ceasefire at risk due to Lebanon attacks! – Iran

Iran has accused the US of violating three key conditions of the ceasefire. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Israel’s heavy strikes on Beirut on 9th April have endangered the agreement. He said halting attacks on Lebanon was part of the deal, and warned that if such attacks continue, Iran will not destroy uranium and will maintain blockade on the Strait of Hormuz.

Talks in Pakistan on 10th April

According to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, a US delegation led by Vice President JD Vance will travel to hold talks with Iran following the ceasefire. The first round of negotiations will take place on 10th April. The delegation accompanying Vance will include US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, son-in-law of Donald Trump. The Iranian delegation will be led by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

Trump threw Iran’s 10-point proposal into the trash! – White House

Karoline  Leavitt, Press Secretary of the White House

There has been media speculation that Donald Trump accepted Iran’s 10-point proposal. The White House has issued a clarification on this. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that Iran had initially sent a 10-point proposal, but it contained serious conditions and was not acceptable. Therefore, Trump rejected it and “threw it in the trash.” She added that the ceasefire occurred only after Iran agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz. Trump has not accepted—and will not accept—Iran’s list of demands as a compromise. He will only agree to terms that serve US interests. Therefore, reports claiming that the 10 demands have been accepted should not be believed.

Attacks on Lebanon will continue; Pakistan embarrassed by US and Israel statements

Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had posted on ‘X’ that Iran, the United States, allied nations, and Lebanon had all agreed to a two-week ceasefire to halt attacks and hold discussions.

However, after this statement, the US clarified that Lebanon was never part of this two-week ceasefire agreement and that all parties had been informed of this in advance.

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also made it clear that attacks against Hezbollah in Lebanon will continue.

Angry Iran announces it will keep Hormuz closed

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi responded on social media, stating that the terms of the Iran-US ceasefire are clear and the US must decide whether it genuinely intends to implement the ceasefire or continue the war through Israel—since both cannot happen simultaneously.

Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf claimed that 3 out of 10 conditions had already been violated even before the talks. These include violence in Lebanon, an attempted drone attack in Iran, and denial of Iran’s right to enrich uranium.

This situation raises questions: since both the US and Israel do not consider Lebanon part of the ceasefire, did Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif deliberately mislead Iran, or did the US itself violate the agreement?

We do not see Pakistan as a reliable player! – Israel’s Ambassador to India

Israel’s Ambassador to India, Reuven Azar, has expressed doubts about Pakistan’s mediation role in the ceasefire. He stated that Israel does not view Pakistan as a reliable player, and that the US may have its own reasons for maintaining relations with Pakistan. The US has decided to use Pakistan’s facilitation services for its own strategic purposes.

Regarding the ceasefire, Azar said that Israel hopes these negotiations will eliminate two major threats to its existence: Iran’s nuclear programme and its ballistic missile production.
