US President Donald Trump has announced an extension of the ceasefire involving Iran, while confirming that a blockade on Iranian ports will remain in effect.
The development was reported by Al Jazeera English.
According to the statement, the blockade will continue until Tehran submits a formal proposal for negotiations.
Trump emphasized that restrictions would stay in place until talks are initiated and “discussions are concluded, one way or the other.”
The move signals ongoing pressure from Washington amid heightened tensions in the region.
While the ceasefire extension may reduce immediate military escalation, the continued blockade underscores unresolved disagreements between the two sides.
Observers say the situation reflects a delicate balance between diplomacy and strategic pressure, with both countries yet to reach common ground on key issues.
Further developments are expected as the international community watches closely for signs of renewed dialogue or escalation in the coming days.
