Iran US War: Amidst the ongoing war in West Asia, the string of temporary ceasefire between America and Iran is now on the verge of breaking. Let us tell you, the 14-day ceasefire between the two countries is going to end on Wednesday, 22 April 2026.
Just ahead of this crucial deadline, diplomatic spats and military threats have intensified between the two sides. At the same time, there is uncertainty regarding peace talks in Islamabad, because US President Donald Trump has seriously accused Iran of violating the conditions.
‘If there is no agreement, the war will start again’
Let us tell you, the ceasefire will end at midnight on 22 April. Meanwhile, President Trump has given clear indications that if no concrete agreement is reached, the conflict may resume. On ‘Truth Social’ the US President has accused Iran of “violating the ceasefire several times”.
He warned that if the agreement is not reached, the US military is ready to continue its action. Let us tell you, Trump has already threatened to target Iran’s power plants and nuclear infrastructure, which he has described as “complete destruction” under ‘Operation Midnight Hammer’.
Iran ready to play its new tricks
On the other hand, Iran has also made it clear that it will not hold talks “under the shadow of threats”. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said that Iran will not bow down to any pressure and is ready to play its new tricks on the battlefield.
Will the crisis be resolved in Islamabad talks?
To restore peace, a second round of talks is proposed in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad. However, there are dark clouds over its success, as many reports are claiming that the US delegation led by JD Vance and Jared Kushner is about to reach Islamabad, but there is still doubt about Iran’s participation.
Iran’s state broadcaster (IRIB) has so far denied reports of any Iranian diplomatic delegation visiting Islamabad, raising question marks over the start of the talks.
Battle for control of the Strait of Hormuz
Let us tell you that amidst this tension, the situation regarding control over the Strait of Hormuz also remains serious. The US blockade of ports and the shelling of an Iranian-flagged cargo ship have added fuel to the fire. Iran has warned of retaliatory action, calling it a ceasefire violation, which is posing a deep threat to global oil supply and maritime security.
