Trump Extends Iran Ceasefire

The White House confirmed that the decision to prolong the truce followed direct requests from Pakistani leadership acting as mediators between the two warring nations.

While the extension averts an immediate return to large-scale bombing, President Trump warned that the U.S. military remains 'raring to go' if a unified peace proposal is not forthcoming from Iran's fractured leadership.

The ongoing blockade continues to prevent Iranian oil exports, leading to a reported daily loss of $500 million for the Islamic Republic.

International observers remain cautious as Tehran has expressed deep skepticism, labeling the move a strategic ploy to buy time for a surprise military strike.
