Donald Trump says that negotiations<\/strong> with Iran<\/b> are continuing immediately, but leaving spikes for the possibility of a rupture<\/b>. <\/p>\n

Note that the ceasefire<\/strong> remains fragile<\/b> and linked to a specific timetable.<\/b> <\/p>\n

Talking to reporters on a flight to Washington, he said contacts would take place this weekend. At the same time, he spoke of positive signs,<\/b>but did not go into details. “We are negotiating this weekend.” At the same time, he hinted that there is “quite a bit of good news”. <\/p>\n

However, he made it clear that if there is no agreement<\/strong> by next Wednesday (4\/22), the ceasefire could end. “Maybe don’t extend it… there is a blockade and unfortunately we may have to start dropping bombs again,” he said. <\/p>\n

New round of contacts<\/h3>\n

US and Iranian delegations are expected to go to Pakistan, aiming for talks on Monday (20\/4) with the 15-day ceasefire deadline pressing for an outcome. <\/p>\n

Washington appears confident that progress has been made on key issues. On the flip side, Tehran rejects US assessments. Note that Iranian<\/b> officials<\/b> express concern<\/b> that strong public rhetoric<\/b> is undermining diplomacy<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Uranium issue in focus<\/h3>\n

Iran’s enriched uranium<\/strong> remains a key issue. Trump insists that the US will ensure its control regardless of the outcome of the talks. <\/p>\n

He outlined yet another scenario of joint management and transfer of the material. Analysts, however, note that such an undertaking would require difficult operational conditions. <\/p>\n

Trump’s use of the term “nuclear dust<\/b>” – a term not recognized in international nuclear terminology – also caused a backlash. <\/p>\n

“Thorns” in the Strait of Hormuz<\/h3>\n

Trump has made it clear that no “tariffs”<\/b> will be allowed on the Iranian side. He even warned of interference with ships that comply with such practices. <\/p>\n

For his part, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf threatened a complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz if the US blockade is not lifted. He stressed that decisions would be taken “on the ground and not through social media”. <\/p>\n

Naval blockade and expanding operations<\/h3>\n

The US naval blockade<\/strong> has already had an impact with over 20 ships having returned to Iranian ports since the measures began. <\/p>\n

The US activity extends beyond the Middle East. Gen. Dan Kaine said inspection operations will continue in the Indo-Pacific. <\/p>\n

Sea lanes such as the Straits of Malacca, where sanctioned tankers operate, are also under the microscope. <\/p>\n

How international markets are reacting <\/h3>\n

International markets are reacting with cautious optimism. It should be noted that the partial de-escalation in the Strait of Hormuz pushed oil prices down. <\/p>\n

At the same time, indices such as the S&P 500 are moving higher,<\/b> embodying expectations of stabilization. <\/p>\n

Also, the US side also took temporary actions on the energy market, seeking to limit any turbulence. <\/p>\n

It is clear that the possibility of another escalation<\/strong> remains open. The decisions taken will affect not only the region but also the global balance. <\/p>\n
