Trump Extends Iran War Ceasefire

Trump Extends Iran War Ceasefire

The White House announced the extension following a formal request from Pakistani mediators to allow more time for a 'unified proposal' from Tehran.

Despite the reprieve from active bombing, President Trump warned that the U.S. military remains 'raring to go' if negotiations fail to produce a permanent resolution.

The decision comes as regional markets react with volatility and international oil supplies remain severely constrained by the ongoing blockade.

Iranian officials have expressed deep skepticism, labeling the extension a tactical ploy to buy time for a potential surprise military strike.
