Trump gives Iran days to end power struggle, return to peace talks

US President Donald Trump is giving Iran's warring factions a short window to unify behind a coherent counter-offer - or the ceasefire he extended Tuesday ends, three US officials told Axios, Report informs.

"Trump is willing to give another three to five days of ceasefire to allow the Iranians to get their shit together," one US source briefed on the matter said. "It is not going to be open-ended."

"We saw that there is an absolute fracture inside Iran between the negotiators and the military - with neither side having access to the supreme leader, who is not responsive," a US official said.

US officials first began to see the divisions after the first round of Islamabad talks, when it became clear IRGC commander Gen. Ahmad Vahidi and his deputies had rejected much of what Iran's own negotiators had discussed.
