Trump Extends Iran Ceasefire, Tensions Simmer

0:00It's April 22nd, from red carpets to breaking stories. This is entertainment and celebrity news, powered by AI. President Donald Trump just extended the U.S. ceasefire with Iran, pushing it past its Wednesday deadline. He pointed to Tehran seriously fractured government as the main reason, saying it'll hold until Iran delivers a unified proposal to end the war with. Both America and Israel. Meanwhile, the military keeps up its blockade on Iranian ports, with forces staying fully ready for action. This move comes right after Vice President JD Vance's plan trip to Pakistan for round two of peace talks hit a wall. Iranian negotiators backed out, calling the whole thing a waste of time since the U.S. blocks any real deal, according to their state news. From the Iranian side, an adviser to their parliamentary speakers slammed the extension as a sneaky ploy to buy time for a surprise strike. He said the ongoing naval blockade feels just like bombardment and demands a military push-back in response.

1:01Trump gave a shout-out to Pakistan's field marshal, Asi Munir, and Prime Minister Shabaz Sharif, for asking him to stretch the ceasefire. Earlier on CNBC's Quackbox, he even said he wasn't keen on doing it. Iran's also firing back, accusing the U.S. of breaking a 10-point framework they proposed at the ceasefire start. With the straight-of-form moves still a hot flashpoint, these tensions show no signs of cooling any time soon.
