Iran Signals New Battlefield ‘Cards’ as US Ceasefire Nears End
Iran’s parliamentary speaker warned that Tehran has spent the past two weeks “preparing to show new cards on the battlefield.” He insisted that Iran will not accept negotiations under threats. President Trump says he is not under pressure to extend the two-week ceasefire with Iran, which expires on Wednesday. US reports indicate Vice-President JD Vance may travel to Pakistan this week amid the stand-off. Meanwhile, the US maintains its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz after seizing an Iranian-flagged cargo ship. Both sides accuse each other of ceasefire violations. Secondary talks between Israel and Lebanon are also expected to resume on Thursday. Some analysts doubt Iran has weapons capable of shifting the balance against the US and Israel. Others see the threats as a strategic bluff.
