US President Trump has extended the Iran ceasefire indefinitely, citing a request from Pakistan's leaders, Field Marshal Asim Munir and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. Trump stated that he wants to give Iran's fractured government time to come up with a unified proposal for a permanent peace deal. The US will keep the blockade on Iran's ports in the Strait of Hormuz in place but will otherwise remain ready. Pakistan's Prime Minister thanked Trump for accepting Islamabad's request and pledged continued diplomatic efforts. Pakistan's diplomatic efforts have been seen as an attempt to recast its diplomatic standing and attract business, as an unstable Middle East is not in its favor. Islamabad seized the opportunity of its relative neutrality in the conflict to take a peacemaker role.
