President Donald Trump says the US will extend the ceasefire with Iran, at the request of Pakistan, and continue the blockade of Iranian ports.

Here is his statement on social media:

Based on the fact that the Government of Iran is seriously fractured, not unexpectedly so and, upon the request of Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, of Pakistan, we have been asked to hold our Attack on the Country of Iran until such time as their leaders and representatives can come up with a unified proposal. I have therefore directed our Military to continue the Blockade and, in all other respects, remain ready and able, and will therefore extend the Ceasefire until such time as their proposal is submitted, and discussions are concluded, one way or the other.

President Donald Trump has decided to buy himself more time with Iran.

(snip)
In extending the truce Trump opted not to make good - for now - on his threats to restart a punishing air campaign against Tehran. But it also ensured that he'll be forced to make that choice again sometime in the coming days or weeks.

When that might be is unclear. Trump did not specify on Tuesday exactly how long the new ceasefire extension will last - only that he was giving Iran more time to offer a "unified proposal" to end the war.

Donald Trump's Truth Social post announcing that the ceasefire has been extended is revelatory, and is the clearest glimpse we have had today at the administration's current thinking on the possibility of talks.

His announcement also stops short of a full-scale return to hostilities, which would be complicated for the president politically in the US and economically with regards to oil prices.

The blockade on Iranian ports, however, remains. Iran views this as an act of war, and that is likely to remain an impediment to any negotiations going forward. It could choose to escalate, or to continue a "cold" war, of sorts, in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz.

Trump and Cabinet pull the damnedest things out of their asses.

The market closed on a downswing, then Trump made the announcement. Institutional investors were locked out. Trump's cronies bought after closing and before the upswing, profiting on market manipulation.

he did🙄

and will move on to something else.

Well, something is.

A government led by religious hard liners fighting for their country or one led by a crazy man no one wants to stand up to?

That is the question!

And 1000 drive-ins.

Every accusation is a confession. He's like a mirror.

The serious fractures are in his own administration.
