AI Summary
5 min readLive from NPR News, I'm Gile Snyder. The ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran, which had been set to expire Wednesday, is now being extended indefinitely by President Trump. In a statement, Trump said he agreed to a request from Pakistan, which is mediating the talks, to hold off on attacks, but that the U.S. military would continue to "stick around" and that the ceasefire would last until talks are concluded, "one way or the other." This marks a sharp pivot from just hours earlier, when Trump warned he was ready to restart bombing. It's not the first time Trump has made a big threat before pulling back—two weeks ago he threatened to "wipe out the Iranian civilization" before announcing the original ceasefire. Iran's most senior leaders have yet to respond, but on social media, an advisor to Iran's Parliament speaker called the move a ploy to buy time for a surprise strike.
