US President Donald Trump has ruled out extending the ceasefire with Iran, suggesting that a resolution to the ongoing conflict could come within days.
ABC News correspondent Jonathan Karl said Trump made the remarks during an interview, indicating he was not considering any extension of the truce, reports Al Jazeera.
“I think you’re going to be watching an amazing two days ahead,” Trump was quoted as saying, adding that the situation could be resolved soon.
He noted that the war “could end either way” but said he would prefer a diplomatic deal, arguing that an agreement would allow reconstruction efforts.
“I think a deal is preferable because then they can rebuild,” he said, according to Karl.
Trump also claimed that “the radicals” in Iran had been removed from power, adding, “They’re gone, no longer with us.”
