US President Donald Trump stated during a phone interview with Bloomberg that the ceasefire agreement with Iran is effectively ending on Wednesday evening Washington time. He emphasized that extending the truce beyond that point is "highly unlikely" unless a broader deal is reached. The initial two-week ceasefire, which began on April 7, has been under discussion amid ongoing diplomatic efforts.
CNN international diplomatic editor Nic Robertson provided coverage of the ceasefire negotiations from Islamabad, Pakistan. The situation remains fluid as officials assess the prospects for a lasting resolution. The ceasefire was intended to reduce tensions between the U.S. and Iran, but its future hinges on progress in talks. No official extension has been announced, and the administration maintains a cautious stance on further commitments.
