Laut offiziellen Angaben stehen Iran und die USA kurz davor, sich auf eine Verlängerung des Waffenstillstands zu einigen

Mediators moved closer Wednesday to extending the ceasefire between the United States and Iran and restarting negotiations to salvage the fragile truce before it expires next week. A senior Iranian military official threatened to halt trade in the region if the U.S. does not lift its naval blockade, underscoring tensions that are overshadowing the diplomacy.

The U.S. blockade on Iranian ports and renewed Iranian threats have imperiled the week-old agreement, but regional officials said Wednesday they were making progress, telling The Associated Press that the United States and Iran had given an “in principle agreement” to extend it to allow for more diplomacy.

The commander of Iran’s joint military command warned Wednesday that Iran would completely block exports and imports across the Persian Gulf region, the Sea of Oman, and the Red Sea if the U.S. military does not lift its blockade on Iranian ports.

How about you extend it permanently. Ideally in Islamabad on let’s say, Friday?

I think Trump is bored of this war now. If Iran is smart, they give him some concessions to let him think that he’s won and let him walk away from this.

It’d be so funny if they’re like “we’ll charge a transit fee through the strait of Hormuz until our damages are repaired, and we’ll split the profits with the US 70-30”. I feel like Trump would go for it 😂
