US President Donald Trump said he would extend the ceasefire with Iran, after plans for diplomatic talks between the two countries were scrapped.
Trump said Tuesday that while the US would hold off on fresh attacks, it would maintain its blockade on the Strait of Hormuz, the vital waterway for oil shipments.
“I have therefore directed our Military to continue the Blockade and, in all other respects, remain ready and able, and will therefore extend the Ceasefire until such time as their proposal is submitted, and discussions are concluded, one way or the other,” Trump posted on social media.
Vice President JD Vance was due to travel to Pakistan to resume talks with Iran, but representatives from Tehran refused to attend, citing unreasonable US demands. Trump blamed the collapse of negotiations on a “seriously fractured” leadership structure in Iran.
Trump had threatened to resume bombing Iran if a deal was not reached by the conclusion of the ceasefire on Wednesday. The president said he was refraining from attacking Iran at the request of Pakistani leaders.
In a telephone interview on Monday, Trump said it was “highly unlikely that I’d extend” the cessation of hostilities if no deal is reached before then.

“Trump blamed the collapse of negotiations on a ‘seriously fractured’ leadership structure in Iran.”

He’s now just hoping the whole thing will go away if he ignores it. He’s bored.
