In the evening, President Trump announced he was extending the ceasefire indefinitely while awaiting a proposal from Iran, citing Pakistan's mediation request and Iran's fractured leadership. Coverage also noted the indefinite postponement of Vice President Vance's diplomatic trip to Pakistan as Iran had not committed to attending talks.
