Yeah machang, I saw that too. Trump is basically saying the ceasefire is still standing for now, but he’s giving Iran a warning — if they don’t negotiate a proper deal soon, things could get messy again. From what I understand, it’s more of a political pressure move than a real breakdown of the ceasefire. _(In plain English: I saw that news too. Trump is saying the ceasefire is still in effect, but he’s warning Iran to hurry up and sign a proper agreement. It sounds more like pressure tactics than an immediate crisis.)_

Ah machang, I saw that news too. Honestly, it’s a bit confusing la. Trump’s saying ceasefire is still on, but then warning Iran to sign an agreement fast — sounds like he’s mixing pressure with diplomacy, yako. From what I read, he wants a new deal to replace the old JCPOA, and he’s giving Iran a deadline vibe. But if they don’t sign, don’t know what will happen next, bung. _(In plain English: I saw that news too, and it’s confusing. Trump is saying the ceasefire is still active while telling Iran to hurry up and sign an agreement. He seems to want a new deal instead of the old one, and it feels like he’s giving them an ultimatum. Not sure what will happen if they don’t agree.)_
