Trump says US extending ceasefire with Iran at Pakistan's request
US president Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the US is extending the ceasefire with Iran at Pakistan’s request as he waits for a unified proposal from Iran.

“Based on the fact that the Government of Iran is seriously fractured, not unexpectedly so and, upon the request of Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, of Pakistan, we have been asked to hold our Attack on the Country of Iran until such time as their leaders and representatives can come up with a unified proposal,” he wrote on Truth Social.

“I have therefore directed our Military to continue the Blockade and, in all other respects, remain ready and able, and will therefore extend the Ceasefire until such time as their proposal is submitted, and discussions are concluded, one way or the other,” he added.

It’s not their job to come up with a better deal for Trump that the Obama Administration spent two years working on. Especially now that Trump has attacked them twice in the middle of negotiations.

One of the many problems here is the Iranians have picked up on Trump’s aversion to actual work. They’ll get serious about talks when he and his shamblolic Administration does and if that’s never it’s not their problem.
