On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump announced the extension of the ceasefire deadline with Iran, citing a request from Pakistan. This decision came after Trump had previously stated he did not wish to extend the ceasefire. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) released a video message emphasizing their military readiness, stating, “We're rearming, we're retooling, and we're adjusting our tactics, techniques, and procedures.” The video showcased various US military operations across air and sea. Trump confirmed that the US blockade of Iranian ports would persist while awaiting a unified proposal from Tehran. The announcement has led to skepticism from Iranian officials, reflecting the ongoing complexities of the situation as peace talks in Pakistan remain uncertain.
