U.S. President Donald Trump has announced an extension of the ceasefire with Iran while ordering American naval forces to maintain the blockade against the country. The announcement was made early Tuesday through a statement on his social media platform, Truth Social. Trump said the decision followed requests from Pakistan’s Field Marshal Asim Munir and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who urged the U.S. to delay any attack until Tehran presents a coordinated proposal.

According to Trump’s statement, the ceasefire will remain in effect until Iran submits its proposal and negotiations are concluded. Meanwhile, the U.S. military will continue its blockade operations. The situation remains tense in the Persian Gulf, particularly around the Strait of Hormuz, a key global energy route where U.S. and Iranian forces are positioned against each other.

Analysts cited in the report noted that the move opens new diplomatic opportunities while maintaining military pressure on Iran. The ongoing blockade continues to exert economic and strategic strain on Tehran despite the extended ceasefire.
