Iran ceasefire on the brink

The fragile truce brokered between the United States and Iran is nearing its end with no clear path to extension, threatening a return to active hostilities.

President Donald Trump has signaled a reluctance to prolong the ceasefire without a comprehensive nuclear agreement, warning of strikes against Iranian infrastructure.

Iranian officials have countered by threatening to reveal 'new cards' on the battlefield if the naval blockade of their ports continues.

International mediators in Pakistan remain hopeful for a second round of negotiations, though diplomatic progress is stalled by mutual distrust.
