US-Iran ceasefire nears expiration

The fragile peace between the U.S. and Iran faces a critical test as a 14-day truce reaches its deadline.

President Donald Trump has signaled that an extension is unlikely, warning of renewed strikes on Iranian infrastructure if a comprehensive deal is not reached.

Meanwhile, Iranian officials have threatened to reveal 'new cards on the battlefield' and continue to protest the U.S. naval blockade of their ports.

Diplomatic efforts in Islamabad remain in limbo as the global community braces for a potential return to open conflict and further energy market volatility.
