Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:
US President Donald Trump has stated that a ceasefire between the US and Iran will expire on Wednesday evening, with no further extension considered “highly unlikely”. According to reports, Trump made this statement during an interview with PBS News.
The ceasefire, which was established as part of a deal reached earlier this year, is set to expire at 12:01am local time on Thursday. If the deadline is not met, Trump warned that “lots of bombs start going off”.
Iran has also expressed concerns about the potential expiration of the ceasefire, with some reports suggesting that the country’s military is on high alert.
The US and Iran have been engaged in diplomatic efforts to extend the ceasefire, but so far, no agreement has been reached. The Financial Times reported earlier today that Trump had told a news organization that an extension was “highly unlikely”.
Meanwhile, the WSJ reported that Trump had also warned of potential consequences if the ceasefire were not extended, stating that “bombs start going off” if the deadline is not met.
The situation remains tense, with both sides continuing to engage in diplomatic efforts to reach a deal. The Middle East crisis continues to unfold as the world watches with concern.
