U.S. President Donald Trump has announced an extension of the ceasefire with Iran, citing a request from Pakistan’s military chief Asim Munir and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
In a statement, Trump said the decision was influenced by concerns that Iran’s government is “seriously fractured” and needs additional time for its leadership to formulate a unified proposal.
He added that the United States will continue enforcing a blockade while keeping its military forces on standby during the extended ceasefire period.
According to Trump, the ceasefire will remain in effect until Iranian representatives submit a formal proposal and negotiations are concluded.
