Trump: No rush to end Iran conflict; warns of 'heavy bombing' if Oman hinders negotiations, as Iran signals shift to all-out offensive

The window for U.S.-Iran ceasefire negotiations has expired, with both sides remaining in a stalemate. Trump stated that there is "no timetable" for ending the war, while insisting that Iran must not possess nuclear weapons. A spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs ruled out the possibility of extending the temporary ceasefire agreement through further negotiations. Iranian officials stated that Iran has set a deadline of several weeks for the United States to fully implement the U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding, and will not wait indefinitely for the U.S. to continue enforcing its maritime blockade. As efforts to reach an agreement with the U.S. have stalled, Iran has decided to shift its policy "from defensive to fully offensive."
