Trump Postpones Military Action Against Tehran Indefinitely Amid Pakistani Mediation

In a development reflecting the sensitive Middle East landscape, U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday evening, April 22, 2026, the suspension of military operations against Iran, extending the truce indefinitely. The U.S. move, coming just before the deadline, was in response to a direct request from Islamabad, which is leading mediation efforts. Amid the war of straits and ship seizures, this extension delayed Vice President J.D. Vance's visit to Pakistan, as the world cautiously watches the outcomes of the brinkmanship policy between Washington and Tehran.
