Trump not considering extending Iran ceasefire

US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he was not considering extending the ceasefire with Iran because he did not think it would be necessary.

“I think you’re going to be watching an amazing two days ahead,” Trump was quoted as saying by an ABC News journalist.

Asked whether the war would end with a deal or with Iran’s capabilities having been destroyed, Trump said either outcome was possible but that an agreement would be better.

“It could end either way, but I think a deal is preferable because then they can rebuild,” he said.

The US president also said Iran now had a different leadership and the radicals were gone.

“If I weren’t president, the world would be torn to pieces,” he said.
