Trump Extends U.S. Ceasefire with Iran Amid Negotiations

U.S. President Donald Trump has extended the two-week ceasefire with Iran, stating the decision was due to the Iranian government's instability. The ceasefire, which was initially set to end on Wednesday, will continue until Iran submits a unified proposal to negotiate peace. Trump's comments followed reports of halted peace talks and the Iranian news outlet Tasnim indicating that negotiations were considered unproductive. The ongoing situation has implications for market stability and potential disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil transit route.
