US President Donald Trump announced that the temporary US-Iran ceasefire will be extended until Iranian officials submit a “unified proposal” for discussion in a post on Truth Social on Tuesday.
The decision to extend the ceasefire, which was set to expire on Wednesday, was made “based on the fact that the Government of Iran is seriously fractured,” Trump stated.
Earlier on Tuesday, Iran had decided not to attend the second round of talks in Pakistan, according to a Tasnim report.
The Jerusalem Post also learned that US Vice President JD Vance’s trip to Pakistan for the talks had been canceled.
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has been called to return to Washington in order to participate in discussions on the developing situation with Iran, N12 also reported on Tuesday.
Iran’s armed forces are ready to deliver an “immediate and decisive response” to any renewed hostile action by its adversaries, a senior Iranian military commander also said on Tuesday, according to semi-official Tasnim news agency.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf said that Iran would not accept negotiations beneath the shadow of threats, and is prepared to reveal new cards on the battlefield in a post on his X/Twitter account.
