U.S. President Donald Trump has announced an extension of the ceasefire in the Iran war, giving mediators additional time to arrange a new round of face-to-face talks between the U.S. and Iran.
Trump said he made the move, just hours before the current ceasefire was to expire, at Pakistan’s request as he waits for a “unified proposal” from Iran.
The announcement averted a resumption of fighting for the time being. But gaps between the sides remain wide, a planned trip to Pakistan by Vice President JD Vance to lead the American negotiating team remains on hold and a U.S. blockade of Iran remains in place.
