Iran Ceasefire Expiring, Threat of War Resuming
According to reports from Israeli Channel 12, U.S. President Donald Trump has convened an urgent national security consultation focused on the Iran crisis. This high-level meeting took place just three days before the scheduled expiration of the current ceasefire with Iran. U.S. officials have issued a clear statement regarding Washington's intended course of action. They stated that if diplomatic efforts fail and no new agreement is reached, the United States is prepared to resume hostilities. Consequently, the next 72 hours are deemed critical for determining the path toward de-escalation or a return to conflict.
