Trump makes major Iran U-turn as he claims regime ‘fractured’ in Truth Social post

The two-week ceasefire with Iran was due to end

US President Donald Trump has once again extended the ceasefire with Iran, announcing the decision only hours before the deadline was due to expire, after reportedly being urged to “hold our attack”.

In a statement, Trump said the decision was driven by his belief that the “Government of Iran is seriously fractured”.

“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,” he posted on Truth Social.

“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.”
