Even as a meeting between the US and Iranian delegations are scheduled to meet in few hours in Islamabad, President Donald Trump said that US warships are being reloaded with weaponry to strike Iran if talks in Pakistan fail.

“We have a reset going. We’re loading up the ships with the best ammunition, the best weapons ever made — even better than what we did previously and we blew them apart,” Trump said in a telephonic interview with the New York Post.

He was speaking shortly after US Vice President JD Vance boarded Air Force Two for Islamabad, where talks with Iran are set to begun on Saturday.

On a question to whether the talks would be successful, Trump said, “We’re going to find out in about 24 hours. We’re going to know soon.”

If the talks failed, Trump said, the US would be loading their ships with “the best weapons ever made and will be using them very effectively”.

“But we’re loading up the ships. We’re loading up the ships with the best weapons ever made, even at a higher level than we use to do a complete decimation,” he said.

Trump also claimed that Iran is getting rid of its nuclear weapons, adding “everything’s gone”.

“To our face, they’re getting rid of all nuclear weapons, everything’s gone. And then they go out to the press and say, ‘No, we’d like to enrich.’ So we’ll find out,” the US President reportedly said.

Trump seemed to double down on his “reset” claim over Iran in a social media post.

“World’s most powerful reset,” Trump wrote in a cryptic post on social media post even as Vice President JD Vance departed for Islamabad.

US Vice President JD Vance left for Pakistan to participate in peace talks with Iran to end their war, even as there was no official word about the arrival of the Iranian delegation in Islamabad.

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, while announcing a two-week ceasefire on Wednesday, said that the US and Iran would hold talks in Islamabad on April 10.

Before his departure to Pakistan, said he was looking forward to the negotiations with Iran and that he expected the Islamabad talks to be “positive.”

“The Iranians don’t seem to realize they have no cards, other than a short term extortion of the World by using International Waterways. The only reason they are alive today is to negotiate!” Trump posted on Truth Social.
