00:01United States President Donald Trump extends the ceasefire with Iran indefinitely to allow peace talks to continue.
00:07But his announcement appears to be unilateral and it is not clear if Iran agrees.
00:11Trump also agrees to Pakistan's request to pause U.S. attacks on Iran to allow time for a unified peace
00:17proposal.
00:18But even as he announces the extension, Trump says he would continue the U.S. Navy's blockade of Iran's trade
00:23by sea.
00:24There was no immediate response from Iran's top leaders, but Tasnim News Agency said Tehran had not requested the ceasefire
00:30extension and warned it could break the U.S. blockade by force.
00:34An advisor to Iran's parliamentary speaker also downplaced Trump's announcement, saying the extension is certainly a ploy to buy time
00:41for a surprise strike.
