US President Donald Trump has extended the ceasefire indefinitely amid reports of talks with Iran. He said that this step has been taken with the aim of giving time to Tehran’s fragmented leadership to prepare a joint proposal to end the seven-week war.

Trump has made this announcement at a time when the two-week ceasefire declared on April 8 was about to end in a few hours. Along with this, the visit of the US delegation led by Vice President JD Vance to Islamabad, where peace talks were proposed with Iranian representatives, has also been postponed. However, Trump has made it clear that America will refrain from attacking Iran only until its leadership presents a joint proposal for talks. He said that the economic blockade on Iran’s ports will continue.

US delegation postpones visit to Pakistan

JD Vance and US special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were to leave for Islamabad on Tuesday, but the White House, the official residence and office of the US President, said that the delegation’s visit to Pakistan would not take place on Tuesday.

Shahbaz said to Trump – Thank you

Meanwhile, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday thanked US President Donald Trump for extending the ceasefire with Iran. Shahbaz expressed hope that both sides will be able to reach a comprehensive peace agreement to end the conflict. The Prime Minister of Pakistan said, ‘As the trust and confidence has been expressed, Pakistan will continue its sincere efforts to resolve the conflict through dialogue. I sincerely hope that both sides will continue to abide by the ceasefire and will be able to reach a comprehensive peace agreement for a permanent end to the conflict in the second round of talks to be held in Islamabad.

American delegation came to Islamabad under the leadership of JD Vance

It is noteworthy that earlier this month, JD Vance had discussed with Iran for 21 hours, which failed. At that time, Iran had rejected the US demand to stop nuclear enrichment and hand over its 440 kg of highly enriched uranium.

The foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Pakistan will meet with their Turkish counterparts in Türkiye this week. In this meeting, those proposals given to Iran will be discussed, the purpose of which is to end its effective blockade on the Strait of Hormuz and reach a permanent ceasefire with America.

This diplomatic initiative is being considered an important effort towards reducing the increasing tension in the region and restoring stability in the Gulf region. The main focus of the talks will be to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, important for global energy supplies, and to establish long-term peace between Washington and Tehran.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a big statement on Sunday. He said that the decisive victory against Hizbullah in Lebanon has now opened new avenues of peace possibilities for Israel. Netanyahu said that Israel is contacting and interacting with both its northern neighboring countries, Lebanon and Syria. However, he also made it clear that it will take time to reach a concrete agreement.

Security agreement with Syria talks
Netanyahu said in the cabinet meeting, ‘We are talking about the security agreement with Syria. There has been some progress in this, but there is still a long way to reach the agreement. Syrian President Ahmed Al-Shra also said a few days ago that the conversation between Israel and Syria can give results in the coming days. They believe that security agreement is necessary and should be respected by Syria’s air border and regional integrity.

Contact with Lebanon is also being made
Netanyahu said that contacts are also being made with Lebanon. He said that if Israel had not won a decisive victory against Hizbollah on the North Front, then such talks were not possible.

Syrian demands and United Nations Role
Syria has made it clear that two conditions will be important in any possible agreement- Israel will have to stop air strikes. Israeli troops entered southern Syria will have to be called back. At the same time, Syria wants the United Nations to monitor the agreement so that its regional unity and sovereignty can be safe.

New hope of peace
Although no formal agreement has been reached so far, recent events have indicated that the hopes of peace between Israel and its northern neighbors are gradually strengthening amidst long-standing tension.
