Trump Extends Iran Ceasefire as Islamabad Peace Talks Postponed
Trump has extended the ceasefire with Iran, originally set to expire Wednesday evening, to allow Iran more time to develop a unified proposal to end the war. Vice President JD Vance's planned trip to Islamabad was postponed as Iran never officially committed to attending the talks. This marks the second time in two weeks Trump has backed off a threat to escalate the conflict, which began in late February. Pakistan mediated the request for extension, though major obstacles remain including Iran's designation of the US Strait of Hormuz blockade as an act of war.
