US extends ceasefire; tensions rise as Iran seizes ships

US President Donald Trump has extended the Iran ceasefire indefinitely at Pakistan's request to allow more time for talks. This move comes as Iran escalated tensions by firing on ships and seizing two vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Pakistan had urged an extension of the truce due to uncertainty surrounding the second round of talks. The extension effectively delays the planned visit of a US delegation to Islamabad for talks with Iranian interlocutors.
