Earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that, at Pakistan’s request, he had extended the ceasefire between the United States and Iran, until Tehran presents its proposal and negotiations resume.
However, according to Associated Press journalist Filip Crowther, reporting from Islamabad, it remains unclear when talks might continue or whether U.S. and Iranian delegations will attend discussions in Pakistan at all.

“For now, there is no arrival of delegations. Neither the American nor the Iranian side has left their capitals, and it remains uncertain whether they will appear in Islamabad this week,” Crowther said.
He noted that Pakistani officials are still mediating between Tehran and Washington, exchanging messages and attempting to secure direct talks, but that serious doubts about the success of the process remain.

AutorAccording to him, Iran has set conditions for participating in the negotiations, including a demand for the lifting of U.S. restrictions in the Persian Gulf and around the Strait of Hormuz, where, he claims, tensions persist and maritime traffic remains limited.
Trump reportedly made the decision to extend the ceasefire late Tuesday evening, a move that has been assessed as a positive step toward de-escalation.
Crowther emphasized that Pakistan is currently a key mediator between the two sides, as both Washington and Tehran have a certain level of trust in Islamabad as a neutral venue for talks.
“Pakistan is currently the only mediator between the United States and Iran,” he said, adding that negotiations are being conducted through Pakistani officials.

Meanwhile, tensions in the Persian Gulf region remain high. British sources reported that several container ships were struck in attacks near Iranian waters.
According to those reports, Iran has seized at least two vessels, while U.S. forces have detained an Iranian-flagged tanker.
Crowther assesses that such incidents complicate the prospects for direct negotiations and reaching a peace agreement.
Disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz are already affecting the global oil market, particularly importers in the region such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Iraq, as well as China, which receives a significant portion of its oil through this route
