00:00Donald Trump says the United States is prepared to extend its ceasefire with Iran indefinitely
00:05to allow more time for peace talks.
00:08However, it remains unclear whether Iran or Israel, a key US ally in the two-month conflict,
00:14will agree to the extension.
00:16Trump said in a social media post that Washington had accepted a request from Pakistani mediators
00:21to hold off any attack on Iran.
00:23He added that Iran's fractured leadership needed more time to present a unified negotiating
00:30position.
00:31But even as Trump announced what appears to be a unilateral ceasefire extension, he said
00:37the United States would maintain its naval blockade on Iran, a move Tehran considers an
00:43act of war.
00:44With the New York Times reports that US Vice President J.D.
00:48Vance has delayed a planned trip to Pakistan for a second round of talks.
