Trump faces three tough choices on Iran war after dramatically canceling peace talks and rejecting last-minute offer… as he claims oil pipelines will EXPLODE in just days

President Donald Trump faces three tough choices to make on war with Iran after canceling peace talks and rejecting the country’s last-minute offer.

Trump, who was whisked to safety alongside the First Lady after a shooter opened fire at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday night, is still determined to win the war and persuade Iran to a deal.

However, it could go one of three ways: escalate the conflict, use the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to force Iran to compromise, or decide to reach a deal it does not want. Wall StreetJournal reported.

On Sunday morning, Trump claimed that Iran’s oil pipelines would burst in about three days.

‘What’s happening is the line is imploding from within. “Something’s happening, both mechanically and on the ground, where it explodes, and they’re saying they only have three days before it happens,” he told Fox News.

‘And when it explodes you can never rebuild it the way it was. ‘This is a very powerful thing that happens with nature.’

Just hours before chaos ensued at the Washington Hilton on Saturday evening, the president announced that he had made an offer to the United States about 10 minutes after Iran canceled a trip to Pakistan by its special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

Writing on Truth Social, the trip was planned to be geared toward peace negotiations between the United States and the Middle Eastern country, but Trump said that did not happen due to tremendous infighting and confusion within the “leadership.”

“I just canceled my representatives’ trip to Islamabad, Pakistan, to meet with the Iranians,” he wrote.

‘So much time spent traveling, so much work! Moreover, there is tremendous internal strife and confusion in their “leadership”. No one knows who is responsible, including them. Also, we have all the cards and they don’t! If they want to talk, all they have to do is call!!!’

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrived in Islamabad on Friday and held a series of meetings with Pakistani Chief of Army Staff Marshal Asim Munir and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday.

They discussed what Araghchi described as Iran’s red lines in the negotiations and said Tehran would join Pakistan’s mediation efforts ‘until an outcome is achieved’.

Shortly after Trump decided to cancel the trip, he announced that Iran had made an offer, but he was not happy with it.

Before boarding Air Force One in Palm Beach, Florida, he told reporters that Tehran “offers a lot, but not enough.”

“They gave us a document that was supposed to be better,” Trump said. ‘And interestingly enough, as soon as I cancelled, within ten minutes we received a new paper which was much better.’

Trump also repeated his claim that there is a “tremendous infighting” within the Iranian government. He said Iranian officials were “probably fighting for leadership” and added that he would “deal with whoever is in charge of this.”

Iran has yet to acknowledge or confirm what Trump said about his so-called ‘offer’.

The country’s remaining leaders often contradict the president’s statements about the state of diplomacy between Iran and the United States.

Iranian officials have previously stated that they are not yet ready to hold a new round of face-to-face talks with American officials, citing Washington’s refusal to give up “maximalist” demands on important issues.

Tehran also denied Trump’s claims and said it would not give its enriched uranium to the United States.

Iran also asked how they could trust the United States after talks last year and earlier this year ended when Tehran’s nuclear program came under attack by the United States and Israel.

But people with knowledge of the matter, including an Iranian diplomat, told the WSJ that Araghchi could still agree to meet with Trump in the next few days.

An open-ended ceasefire has halted most fighting in Iran, but the economic fallout is compounded by the near closure of the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting global shipments of oil, liquefied natural gas, fertilizer and other materials.

Islamabad was in near lockdown ahead of the expected talks. Pakistan has been trying to bring the United States and Iran back to the negotiating table since Trump this week announced an indefinite extension of the ceasefire, honoring Islamabad’s request for more diplomatic support.

Vice President JD Vance, who led the US delegation in the failed first round of talks with Tehran, was not expected to participate in the second round of talks.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Friday that he was being kept in “reserve” position to travel to Pakistan in case peace talks get serious, and said this was not a situation where the Vice President would be sidelined by Trump.

The first round of talks between the United States and Iran lasted more than 20 hours and took place face-to-face; these were the highest-level direct talks between the long-time enemies since the Islamic Revolution in 1979.

Araghchi and Trump’s envoys also held indirect talks for hours in Geneva on February 27, but left before an agreement was reached.

The next day, Israel and the United States launched a war against Iran.
