Trump says the US will extend its ceasefire with Iran at Pakistan’s request
The US has extended its ceasefire with Iran at Pakistan's request, pending a unified proposal from Iran. The decision comes as both countries were prepared to resume fighting if no deal was reached.
The US has extended its ceasefire with Iran at Pakistan's request. President Donald Trump announced the decision on Truth Social, stating that the US military would remain ready and able until Iran submits a proposal and discussions are concluded. Pakistani leaders, including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, worked to get both sides to agree to a second round of ceasefire talks. Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said there was no final decision on further talks due to unacceptable US actions. The US had imposed a blockade on Iranian ports, which Iran has made a condition for rejoining peace talks. The Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping lane, remains a crucial point of contention between the two countries.
