Trump extends Iran ceasefire: can a deal be made? – The Latest

About this episode

The episode discusses Donald Trump's indefinite extension of the US ceasefire with Iran amidst uncertain negotiations.

Donald Trump has indefinitely extended the US ceasefire with Iran after talks looked increasingly uncertain between both sides. Trump said he would ‘extend the ceasefire until such time as [Iran’s] proposal is submitted, and discussions are concluded, one way or the other’. The US blockade remains, as does the closure of the strait of Hormuz by Iran, which seized two ships on Wednesday.
