Trump announced he would extend the ceasefire with Iran for an undetermined period until its leaders produced a unified proposal to end the conflict, citing a 'seriously fractured' Iranian government and requests from Pakistani mediators, while directing the military to continue the naval blockade of Iranian ports. Iran's foreign minister called the blockade a clear violation of the ceasefire.
