Trump accuses Iran of violating soon-to-expire ceasefire "numerous times"

President Trump hasn't appeared to speak publicly for a couple days, relying instead on his Truth Social platform to deliver a steady volley of messages Monday about the ongoing standoff with Iran. 

In his first message about the war on Tuesday, the president said simply: "Iran has Violated the Cease Fire numerous times!"

He posted the message, without any further context, one day before he says the ceasefire — which has halted U.S. attacks on Iran and Iran's retaliatory fire at America's Persian Gulf allies for two weeks — will expire.

Mr. Trump has warned that if Iran does not make a deal to end the war, he will order strikes to resume, and destroy all of Iran's power plants and bridges. 

Iran has accused the U.S. of violating the truce, too. It says the ongoing U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports and vessels is a breach of the agreement, and it has thus far refused to commit to new peace talks while the blockade remains in place.
