Washington Extends Truce with Iran Indefinitely Based on Pakistani Mediation

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday evening, April 22, 2026, his approval of a Pakistani request to extend the ceasefire with Iran indefinitely. The move comes amid unprecedented military tensions and Tehran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The extension decision led to the postponement of the U.S. Vice President's visit to Islamabad, while Washington keeps all military options on the table awaiting a unified Iranian stance.
