US President Donald Trump declines to say what Iran would have to do for him to deem that it has violated the ceasefire.
“You’ll find out because I’ll let you know when they do,” Trump tells a reporter in the Oval Office. “They know what not to do.”
“They should do the smart thing because we don’t want to go in and kill people,” he adds.
The US has stopped short of accusing Iran of violating the ceasefire, even though Tehran has repeatedly targeted the UAE over the past two days.
