Trump Says US Replenished Its Weapons Stockpiles During Iran Ceasefire
In remarks to media, Trump stated he was “ready to go” with renewed strikes if negotiations fail to produce a signed agreement. He also voiced confidence that both sides would eventually secure a “great deal,” one he said would surpass the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
Trump further claimed that the Iranian-flagged cargo vessel TOUSKA, intercepted Sunday by US forces after allegedly ignoring blockade instructions, was transporting what he called a “gift from China.” The ship remains under US custody, according to US Central Command, which confirmed the seizure. China has not responded to the allegation.
On financial diplomacy, Trump said a potential currency swap with the United Arab Emirates is “under consideration,” describing the Gulf nation as “a good country.”
The president also said the current two-week ceasefire—set to expire Wednesday evening in Washington—has been violated by Iran “numerous times.” He warned earlier that extending the truce was “highly unlikely” without a prior agreement.
Separately, US Vice President JD Vance, along with envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, is expected to travel to Islamabad for a new round of negotiations. Iran has not confirmed participation, insisting that lifting the US naval blockade is a precondition for talks.
