Trump extends ceasefire in Iran, citing ‘seriously fractured’ Iranian government
The move buys time for negotiations as Pakistan presses both sides to resume talks and the U.S. keeps pressure on Iranian shipping.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump extended the ceasefire with Iran at Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir's request, delaying a planned attack while awaiting a 'unified proposal' from Tehran.
- Pakistani leaders urged a pause to facilitate negotiations, though Iran initially signaled it might skip upcoming talks in Islamabad, casting doubt on immediate diplomatic progress.
- Trump directed the U.S. military to maintain its naval blockade of Iranian ports and remain ready for strikes until discussions conclude, sustaining pressure during negotiations.
- Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi condemned the blockade as an 'act of war' and a violation of the ceasefire, expressing skepticism about Tehran's participation in talks amid contradictory messaging.
- Global energy markets face volatility as Brent crude trades near $95 per barrel, with the naval standoff threatening shipping through the critical Strait of Hormuz that carries 20% of global oil.
