"Trump said Tuesday that he extended the ceasefire, just as it was due to expire, to allow more time for negotiations with no new concession by Tehran - a sign that the president is eager for a way out of what has become an increasingly costly and unpopular war."
"A U.S. delegation led by Vice President JD Vance and a high-level team of Iranian officials were set to travel to Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, for a second round of face-to-face negotiations, but the Iranians informed mediators at the last minute that they would not attend so long as a U.S. blockade of the strait continues."
Iranian forces fired on a container ship in the Strait of Hormuz, causing significant damage. This incident occurred shortly after President Trump extended a ceasefire with Iran to facilitate negotiations.
