First the threat of bombing, then the declaration of ceasefire, Donald Trump is confused on Iran


US President Donald Trump has made a big announcement on Wednesday. He has extended the ongoing ceasefire agreement with Iran. Donald Trump said Iran has yet to come up with a negotiation proposal that everyone agrees on and that is acceptable to all of Iran. Therefore, on the appeal of Pakistan, they have decided to stop the attacks.

Pakistan is the mediator in the talks between America and Iran. Donald Trump has written on social media that Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir have requested him to postpone the attack on Iran.
