The White House says JD Vance’s expected trip to Pakistan to lead peace talks has been called off for the day.
US President Donald Trump said he has extended the ceasefire with Iran until Tehran submits a proposal to end the conflict permanently.
He said the US would continue to blockade Iranian ports. In an interview earlier, Trump said he didn’t want to extend the truce that was due to expire Wednesday evening ET.
Iran, however, pushed back sharply. Trump’s extension, according to a senior Iranian adviser, “means nothing” and Tehran should respond militarily. Earlier, Iran’s foreign minister said the US blockade amounted to an “act of war” and violated the ceasefire.
Following Trump’s announcement, Vice President JD Vance’s expected trip to Islamabad to lead talks with Iran has been called off for the day, according to a White House official.
