Trump extends ceasefire with Iran amid ongoing tensions

President Trump extended the ceasefire with Iran, initially set to expire, after receiving requests from Pakistani leaders to hold off on military action.
The U.S. blockade on Iranian ports remains in effect, with Iran's negotiators refusing to engage unless the blockade is lifted, calling it an 'act of war.'
Trump's recent comments reflect a pattern of reversing his aggressive stances, leading critics to label his approach as 'TACO' (Trump Always Chickens Out).
