Donald Trump has extended the ceasefire with Iran, citing a request from Pakistan leadership, including Asim Munir and Shehbaz Sharif. The truce will continue until Tehran submits a unified proposal and negotiations conclude. Despite the extension, the US will maintain its naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz and keep military forces ready. The move reflects a dual-track approach allowing diplomacy time while sustaining strategic pressure. Talks are expected to resume soon, as Washington seeks clarity from Iran’s leadership amid ongoing internal divisions.
