Trump Extends Ceasefire as U.S. Awaits Iran’s Proposal

The United States has extended its ceasefire arrangement with Iran as diplomatic tensions continue to unfold, with President Donald Trump stating that the extension will remain in place while Washington awaits a “unified proposal” from Tehran.

According to live updates from multiple international sources, the decision was made amid ongoing back-channel discussions and mediation efforts involving regional actors, including Pakistan, which has reportedly played a role in encouraging both sides to maintain restraint and return to negotiations.

Trump, speaking through official updates and social media remarks, emphasized that the U.S. remains open to negotiations but is waiting for Iran to present a consolidated position from its leadership before further talks proceed. He reiterated that the ceasefire extension is aimed at creating space for diplomacy and preventing a renewed escalation of hostilities.

Reports indicate that the U.S. military will continue enforcing a maritime blockade of Iranian-linked ports during the extension period, even as diplomatic channels remain open.

The development comes as uncertainty persists over the next round of U.S.-Iran talks, with Iranian officials yet to confirm participation in proposed negotiations scheduled to take place in Islamabad. Analysts say the situation remains fragile, with both sides balancing military posturing and diplomatic signaling.

Meanwhile, security has been tightened in parts of the region ahead of possible renewed discussions, underscoring the volatility surrounding the ceasefire arrangement.
