President Donald Trump on Tuesday said the U.S. would extend its ceasefire with Iran that was due to expire on Wednesday, despite having threatened hours earlier that “I expect to be bombing” when asked if he'd agree to such an extension.
Writing on Truth Social, Trump said Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir had asked him to put a hold on his bombing plans while further attributing the decision to “the fact that the Government of Iran is seriously fractured.”
