Trump extends ceasefire with Iran indefinitely amid stalled negotiations
President Trump unilaterally extended a ceasefire with Iran indefinitely, with the White House stating no firm deadline has been set for Iran to submit a peace proposal. Iran's parliament speaker said the Strait of Hormuz cannot be reopened while a US naval blockade remains in place, and Iranian officials blamed Washington for stalling negotiations. The IRGC captured two foreign vessels and fired on a third in the Strait of Hormuz amid the ongoing standoff.
