Trump EXTENDS Iran ceasefire again as he backs off bombing threat amid chaos among ‘seriously fractured’ Tehran leadership

Donald Trump has waivered on his threat to bomb Iran by extending the US ceasefire, claiming the regime’s leadership was ‘seriously fractured.’

The President previously threatened to resume the war if Iran failed to reach a deal by Wednesday’s deadline at 8pm ET. 

Trump wrote that ‘based on the fact that the government of Iran is seriously fractured’, the US military would hold off striking ‘until such time as their leaders and representatives can come up with a unified proposal.’

‘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,’ Trump added. 

Prior to Trump’s announcement, JD Vance had cancelled his trip to Pakistan for a peace summit with Iran. 

The Vice President was expected to lead US negotiations with Iran in Islamabad before the two-week ceasefire’s expiration. 

Tehran said it has no plans to continue another round of talks with the US due to Trump’s naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. 

Trump said Vance was expected to depart Washington for Pakistan on Tuesday morning but those plans are completely scrapped, according to the Associated Press. 

Trump previously claimed he was poised to resume bombing if Tehran refuses to come to the table, he told CNBC Tuesday morning.
