Kathmandu. US President Donald Trump has been forced to extend the ceasefire period in Iran. The 14-day ceasefire on March 7 was ending on Wednesday. A few hours before the end of the ceasefire period, Trump announced that it has been extended indefinitely through his social media platform Truth Social.
Trump has made it clear that the blockade of Iranian ports will continue until Tehran submits a unified resolution. Earlier this week, the future of the US-Iran talks was in doubt as the ceasefire expired. "I have directed our forces to continue the blockade and to remain ready in all other respects," Trump wrote on social media, adding that the ceasefire will be extended until their proposals are presented and negotiations are concluded.
Earlier, Trump said that he will not extend the ceasefire period. He warned that a long-term agreement should be reached within the 14-day ceasefire period, otherwise Iran's energy infrastructure and bridges would be destroyed.
