Trump Extends Iran Truce at Pakistan’s Request, Keeps Naval Blockade

The extension buys time for Pakistan’s mediation under a blockade that still clouds prospects for talks.

Overview

  • Trump said Tuesday the ceasefire will continue until Iran presents a unified proposal.
  • The U.S. is keeping its naval blockade of Iranian ports, with forces reporting at least one Iran‑linked tanker boarding carried out without incident.
  • Vice President J.D. Vance delayed his trip to Islamabad for a second round of talks as Tehran has not confirmed a delegation.
  • Iranian leaders say they will not negotiate under threats and label U.S. ship seizures a truce breach, conditioning talks on lifting coercive steps like the blockade.
  • Disrupted traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has pushed oil prices higher and raised risks for crews and cargo, keeping pressure on global supply.
