Trump's announcement came after an expected trip by Vice President JD Vance to Pakistan for a peace talks with Iranian officials was put on hold.

The United States and Iran have signalled they will hold a new round of ceasefire talks in Pakistan, two regional officials said Tuesday, as leaders on both sides warned they were prepared for more fighting if a fragile two-week truce expires without a deal.

The extension was announced just hours before it was set to expire. The president did not provide details on how long the new ceasefire extension will last.

US President also said he would continue the US Navy's blockade of Iran's trade by sea, considered an act of war by Tehran

President Trump extends the ceasefire with Iran at Pakistan's request, while the U.S. maintains its blockade of Iranian ports amid ongoing diplomatic tensions.

The U.S. military says its forces fired on two Iran-flagged oil tankers to stop them from docking at an Iranian port in violation of the U.S. blockade in the area.

President Trump said Friday that the leaders of Russia and Ukraine have agreed to his request for a three-day cease-fire and an exchange of prisoners, adding that such a halt to hostilities could be the “beginning of the end” of the long war between them.
