US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday the extension of a ceasefire with Iran, which was initially set to expire, due to significant divisions within Iran's leadership. Trump stated that the ceasefire will remain in effect until Iran presents a unified proposal aimed at resolving tensions with the United States and Israel. This announcement follows the postponement of Vice President JD Vance's trip to Pakistan, where peace talks with Iranian representatives were anticipated. Iranian negotiators have communicated through intermediaries that they will not engage in further discussions, labeling the talks as futile and accusing the US of obstructing potential agreements. An advisor to Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, the speaker of Iran's parliament, criticized the ceasefire extension as a tactic to delay while preparing for military action, asserting that the US Navy's blockade of Iranian ports constitutes aggression that warrants a military response. Trump emphasized that the US military will maintain readiness and continue the blockade until a proposal is received from Iran, highlighting the ongoing tensions surrounding the critical Strait of Hormuz, which has seen minimal shipping traffic due to the conflict.
