Trump extends US-Iran ceasefire as peace talks stall and Iran signals new military options
President Trump announced Tuesday an extension of the US-Iran ceasefire, which had been set to expire Wednesday, citing a request from Pakistani officials and describing Iran's government as 'seriously fractured.' Iran declined to participate in a second round of peace talks in Islamabad, with Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf warning Tehran had 'new cards on the battlefield' and Foreign Minister Araghchi calling the US naval blockade an 'act of war.' The US military blockade of Iranian ports continues despite the ceasefire extension.

The split, in one line
Some outlets foreground Iran's internal fracture and inability to negotiate as the story; others center Trump's ceasefire extension as a last-ditch diplomatic move; The Guardian uniquely asks whether a US ground invasion is imminent, while Axios focuses on IRGC generals blocking civilian negotiators.
