Tehran’s ‌armed forces ready to deliver ‘decisive’ response to any renewed hostile ​action as ceasefire nears end

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.

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. continues to wait for Iran's response to its latest peace proposal, as the fragile ceasefire is still holding. President Trump said Saturday he "expects to hear very soon" from the Iranians.

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.
