President Donald Trump on Tuesday extended the U.S. ceasefire with Iran, saying the extension was warranted due to Tehran’s government being “seriously fractured.”
Trump said the ceasefire would continue “until such time as” Iran’s leaders and representatives submit a “unified proposal” to end the war with the U.S. and Israel.
Trump previously had said that the ceasefire would end on Wednesday.
Earlier on Tuesday, Trump, during an interview with CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” said “I don’t want to do that,” after being asked if he would extend the ceasefire to allow for peace talks to reach a deal.

“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,” Trump said in a statement.
“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,” the president said.
