President Donald Trump says the US will extend the ceasefire with Iran, at the request of Pakistan,

and continue the blockade of Iranian ports.Here is his statement on social media:

Based on the fact that the Government of Iran is seriously fractured,

not unexpectedly so and, upon the request of Field Marshal Asim Munir,

and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, of Pakistan, we have been asked to hold our Attack on the Country

of Iran 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.
