The Iran ceasefire was just extended. The real test for Washington starts now

On Tuesday, President Trump posted on Truth Social that he would extend the ceasefire with Iran — with no set deadline — until Tehran’s leaders can "come up with a unified proposal." That announcement landed hours after Vice President Vance’s trip to Islamabad for a second round of peace talks was canceled without explanation, after Iranian officials told U.S. counterparts through Pakistani intermediaries that they would not appear at the table. Trump had said that very morning he did not want to extend.
