The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that President Donald Trump said Tuesday the United States was indefinitely extending its ceasefire with Iran -- a day before it was to expire -- as a new round of peace talks stalled. An Associated Press dispatch to The Globe says the announcement appeared to ease fears that the fighting would promptly resume. Pakistan had planned to host a second round of talks, but the White House put on hold Vice-President JD Vance's planned trip to Islamabad as Iran rebuffed efforts to restart negotiations. By late Tuesday, Iran had not yet responded to Mr. Trump's announcement of the ceasefire extension. Iranian Foreign Ministry's Esmail Baghaei told Iran's state TV there has been "no final decision" on whether to agree to more talks because of "unacceptable actions" by the United States, apparently referring to the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports. In a Truth Social post announcing the ceasefire extension, Mr. Trump said the U.S. would continue the blockade. A senior commander in Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps threatened to destroy the region's oil industry if war with the U.S. resumes. Iran's grip on the strait has sent Brent crude soaring, now at $95 (U.S.) a barrel.
