0:00I'm Ed Donahue with an AP News Minute. Iran's top diplomat is headed to Pakistan. The White House says the U.S. is sending Steve Whitkop and Jared Kushner. President Trump this week did indefinitely extend the ceasefire to give diplomacy more time. That has not lowered tensions in the strait of hormones, through which a fifth of the world's oil and natural gas transits and where Iran has a stranglehold. The U.S. is still blocking Iranian ports and vessels. The blockade is tightening by the hour. We are in control. Nothing in. Nothing out. Before Pentagon Chief Peter Hegseth spoke, President Trump issued a 90-day extension to the Jones Act waiver, making it easier for non-American vessels to transport oil and natural gas to the U.S. Saga, Megani, Washington. Press Secretary Caroline Levitt says Vice President J.D. Vance would not be traveling to Pakistan, but that he remains deeply involved.
