Trump to extend ceasefire, continue blockade: Vance trip to Islamabad ‘on hold’

Donald Trump’s decision to extend the ceasefire appears to have come after Iran’s IRGC-affiliated Tasnim news agency reported that Tehran’s negotiating team has informed the US through Pakistani mediators that it would not be travelling to Islamabad for talks and saw no further prospect for negotiations.

Axios reports that senior officials within Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) had been pressuring Iranian officials to boycott the negotiations until the US lifted its blockade on Iranian ports.
