President Donald Trump told PBS News on Monday morning that if the ceasefire with Iran expires Tuesday, "then lots of bombs start going off."
The statement came during a phone call with White House correspondent Liz Landers focused on the Iran war, as a U.S. delegation is preparing for more peace talks.
For more highlights from the call, including the president's answer to questions about Jared Kushner's presence at the negotiations, read here:

The new renderings of President Donald Trump's proposed 250-foot triumphal arch were unveiled Friday.
A 12-page plan was released by the U.S. Commission on Fine Arts, showcasing the towering structure. Trump's proposed arch would be built near the Arlington Memorial Bridge, in between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery, with a traffic circle connecting Northern Virginia to Washington, D.C.
Trump originally revealed the plan in 2025 at a White House dinner party and has claimed that the country has been waiting two centuries to build such a structure.
"For 200 years they've wanted to build an arc," Trump said, referring to an arch. "They have 57 cities throughout the world that have them. We're the only major city – Washington, D.C. – that doesn't."
In February, a group of Vietnam War veterans and a retired architectural historian sued to block the construction, citing that it would "dishonor their military and foreign service" by obstructing the Arlington National Cemetery view.
If built, it would become the tallest triumphal arch in the world.

Humanity’s farthest-traveling explorers captured historic images of Earth from the far side of the moon Monday evening.
Just before the Artemis II astronauts entered a planned 40-minute communications blackout as they flew behind the moon, they snapped images of “Earthset,” the setting of Earth behind the lunar surface. The image shows the planet's day side, with clouds hovering over Australia, while a darkened portion of the planet experiences nighttime.
The image evoked memories of “Earthrise,” an image taken by astronaut William Anders during the Apollo 8 mission in late December 1968.
The photo of Earth’s setting was taken at 6:41 p.m. EDT on Monday, according to NASA. Around 7 p.m. EDT, Orion made its closest approach to the moon, reaching approximately 4,067 miles above the lunar surface. The crew set a new record two minutes later, reaching the mission’s maximum distance of 252,756 miles from Earth. That’s a new record for human travel in space.
The crew also witnessed a solar eclipse that lasted nearly an hour as the Orion spacecraft, moon and sun lined up to create the spectacle. The corona formed a halo of sorts around the moon during the nearly 54 minutes of totality that the astronauts watched using eclipse glasses.
“It is so great to hear from Earth again,” Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch radioed back as the communications blackout ended.
After the crew’s seven-hour lunar flyby finished, the crew received a congratulatory call from President Donald Trump. “I’ll ask for your autograph, because I don’t really ask for autographs much,” Trump said. “But you deserve that.”

NASA released two images Friday taken by Artemis II commander Reid Wiseman as he and the other astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft continue their journey in space.
Wiseman snapped the first photo Thursday after the Orion spacecraft completed the translunar injection burn, sending the astronauts out of Earth's orbit and toward the moon. The image includes two auroras in the top right and bottom left. Zodiacal light from sunlight is visible on the bottom right as the Earth eclipses the Sun.
The second photo from one of the Orion spacecraft's four main windows also came after the translunar injection burn on Thursday.
The astronauts are set to fly by the moon on Monday.
