• US President Trump announced a delegation will travel to Pakistan for ceasefire negotiations with Iran.
• Threatens to destroy Iranian infrastructure if a deal is not accepted.
• Accuses Iran of violating the ceasefire by firing near foreign vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
• The latest round of talks is in response to collapsed negotiations earlier this month.

US President Donald Trump has declared that American negotiators will head to Islamabad, Pakistan, for renewed talks regarding a ceasefire with Iran following an earlier unsuccessful round of negotiations. Trump stated that, "My representatives are going to Islamabad, Pakistan. They will be there tomorrow evening, for negotiations," emphasizing that the US has offered what he describes as a "fair and reasonable deal" to Iran, according to Al Jazeera, Channel News Asia, and India Times.

In his announcement, Trump warned Iran of severe consequences if they reject the US offer, stating, "The United States is going to knock out every single power plant, and every single bridge, in Iran." This declaration follows accusations that Iran committed a "total violation" of ceasefire agreements by reportedly firing bullets in the Strait of Hormuz, some aimed at foreign ships, as noted by Channel News Asia and India Times.

Trump's strong stance was reiterated in comments where he declared, "No more Mr. nice guy!" asserting that the US has been accommodating for too long. He mentioned that previous presidents should have acted decisively against Iran, indicating a change in approach under his administration. Meanwhile, Iran's response to these assertions has been to reverse an earlier announcement allowing shipping through Hormuz, citing US actions as infringing on ceasefire terms, according to Al Jazeera and India Times.
