Just hours before the US-Iran ceasefire was set to expire, American President Donald Trump extended it "indefinitely", citing a request from Pakistan. In his statement, Trump said he wanted to give time to the "seriously fractured" Iranian regime to come up with a "unified proposal" for a permanent peace deal. This is the first time the US has not put a deadline on Tehran's next move, and Trump has credited his counsel with the Pakistani leadership for the change in strategy.
