Trump extends Iran ceasefire upon Pakistani request

  • US President Donald Trump indefinitely extended a ceasefire with Iran just before its expiration, while maintaining a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
  • The extension came after planned peace talks between the US and Iran fell apart, with Iran’s representatives refusing to attend due to what they said were unreasonable American demands.
  • Trump said the US is extending the ceasefire until Iran submits a new proposal “and discussions are concluded, one way or the other,” and that without the blockade, “there can never be a Deal with Iran.”

US President Donald Trump indefinitely extended a ceasefire with Iran just before its expiration, while maintaining a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz after planned peace talks between the two sides fell apart. Trump said in a Truth Social post that Pakistan, which is mediating, asked the US to hold off on fresh strikes. The US is extending the ceasefire until Iran submits a new proposal “and discussions are concluded, one way or the other.” In another post, the president said that without the blockade, “there can never be a Deal with Iran, unless we blow up the rest of their Country, their leaders included!” Vice President JD Vance had been set to travel to Pakistan to resume talks with Iran, but representatives from Tehran refused to attend, citing what they said were unreasonable American demands. Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency said there is currently no prospect of Iran participating in negotiations. A White House official confirmed in a statement that the vice president’s trip would not take place on Tuesday. Trump’s announcement struck a markedly different tone from earlier in the day when he told CNBC that “I expect to be bombing” if Iran didn’t meet his conditions, adding the military was “raring to go.” In a telephone interview on Monday, Trump said it was “highly unlikely that I’d extend” the cessation of hostilities if no deal is reached.mTop Iranian officials didn’t immediately comment on Trump’s pronouncement in overnight hours, Tehran time. Iran didn’t request an extension of the ceasefire, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported, citing unidentified sources. It also said the country won’t reopen the strait as long as the US naval blockade continues. Iranian forces are “at full readiness, with their fingers on the trigger,” the semi-official Fars News Agency reported, citing a statement by the country’s armed forces. The developments marked the latest turn in the back and forth between Washington and Tehran since the two sides announced a two-week truce on April 7. Since then, they have publicly bickered over the terms of an agreement and alternatively opened and closed Hormuz, through which about a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas exports flowed before the war.

Trump: I expect to be bombing Iran

United States President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he “expects to be bombing” Iran after the two-week ceasefire expires on Wednesday. Trump claimed bombing is a “better attitude to go in with” and claimed the US military has been the “most powerful” in the world after he built it during his first term. He added that the American military is “ready to go” if and when needed. Just minutes earlier, the US president stressed that he expects Iran to attend negotiations in Pakistan despite Tehran’s denial of such plans and claimed the Middle Eastern country could end up with a “great deal.”

Netanyahu: We haven’t finished job in Iran

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared on Monday that Israel has not “finished the work” in Iran. Speaking at the Memorial Day ceremony in Jerusalem, Netanyahu claimed that the world recognizes Israel’s commitment to self-defense and its determination “to defend mankind against barbarous zealotry.” Furthermore, the Israeli prime minister stressed that his country and the United States “are carrying the entire Western civilization on their backs.” Previously, Netanyahu underlined that Israel is “ready for war with Iran at any moment,” after US President Donald Trump decided to suspend the American-Israeli bombing of Iran for two weeks.

Trump says US seized Iranian cargo ship

  • US marines board Iranian ship after hours-long standoff
  • Iran says will respond to ‘armed piracy’
  • Tehran rejects peace talks, state media says
WASHINGTON/CAIRO, April 20 (Reuters) – Concerns grew on Monday ​that the ceasefire between the United States and Iran might not hold after the U.S. said it had seized an Iranian cargo ship that tried to ‌run its blockade and Iran vowed to retaliate.
Efforts to build a more lasting peace in the region likewise appeared to be on shaky ground, as Iran said it would not participate in a second round of negotiations that the U.S. had hoped to kick off before the ceasefire expires on Tuesday. The U.S. has maintained a blockade of Iranian ports, while Iran has lifted and then reimposed its own blockade on marine traffic passing through ​the Strait of Hormuz, which typically handles roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil supply. The U.S. military said it fired on an Iranian-flagged cargo ship headed towards Iran’s Bandar Abbas ​port on Sunday after a six-hour standoff, disabling its engines. U.S. marines then rappelled from helicopters onto the vessel, U.S. Central Command said.
“We have ⁠full custody of their ship, and are seeing what’s on board!” President Trump wrote on social media. Iran’s military said the ship had been traveling from China. “We warn that the armed forces of ​the Islamic Republic of Iran will soon respond and retaliate against this armed piracy by the U.S. military,” a military spokesperson said, according to state media.Iranian state media reported that Tehran had rejected new peace talks, citing the ongoing blockade, threatening rhetoric, and Washington’s shifting positions and “excessive demands.”
“One cannot restrict Iran’s oil exports while expecting free security for others,” Iran’s First Vice President Mohammadreza Aref wrote on social media. “The choice is clear: ​either a free oil market for all, or the risk of significant costs for everyone.”
NN: What they forgot to mention is the fact that the chemicals cargo ship was loaded with sodium perchorate from china with love. What is that shit you may ask. Why its rocket fuel

Trump: Iran made ‘serious violation’ of ceasefire

United States President Donald Trump said Iran committed a “serious violation” of the ceasefire but expressed confidence a peace deal can still be reached, ABC News chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl posted on X on Sunday. “It will happen. One way or another. The nice way or the hard way. It’s going to happen. You can quote me,” Trump said. The remarks come as Iran has once again closed the Strait of Hormuz. Pakistani security sources also said talks between Washington and Tehran are likely to take place next week, with preparations underway in Islamabad.

Trump: Iran can’t blackmail us…… Looks like blackmail to me!

United States President Donald Trump noted on Saturday that Iran “wanted to close up” the Strait of Hormuz again, but that “they can’t blackmail us.” He added that talks with Tehran are “going along very well” and that his administration should have “some information by the end of the day.” Trump repeated that Iran has “no navy, no air force, no leaders.” He said that the US military operation in Iran resulted in “enforced regime change,” which has allowed Washington to take a “tough stand” in negotiations.

Iran’s navy tells ships Strait of Hormuz shut again, two vessels report gunfire

ATHENS, April 18 (Reuters) – Merchant vessels attempting to cross the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday received radio ​messages from Iran’s navy telling them they were not allowed ‌to pass, while two ships reported being hit by gunfire, shipping sources said. Several commercial vessels tried to transit the strait after receiving a notice to mariners a ​day earlier saying passage would be allowed but restricted to lanes ​Iran deemed safe. On Saturday, at least two ships reported that ⁠Iranian boats fired shots, shipping and maritime security sources told Reuters. ​The incidents were reported in waters between the Qeshm and Larak islands. ​The vessels turned back without completing the crossing, the sources said. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency said it had received a report of an incident 20 nautical ​miles northeast of Oman. The captain of a tanker said it had ​been approached by two Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps gunboats that fired on the vessel. ‌The ⁠tanker and its crew were safe. A container ship was also hit by gunfire, a maritime security source said. Some vessels reported that Iran’s navy had been broadcasting a VHF message saying the Strait of Hormuz was closed ​again.
“Attention all ships, ​regarding the failure ⁠of the U.S. government to fulfil its commitment in the negotiation, Iran declares the Strait of Hormuz completely ​closed again. No vessel of any type or nationality ​is allowed ⁠to pass through the Strait of Hormuz,” the radio message said. Hundreds of ships and about 20,000 seafarers remain stranded in the Gulf, waiting to pass ⁠through ​the key waterway, which handles about 20% ​of global oil and liquefied natural gas flows.
