President Donald Trump extended the ceasefire between the United States and Iran on April 21, just as the truce was approaching its expiration. He announced the extension would last until the Iranian negotiators could reach a “unified proposal” for peace talks, which had reached a standstill. Iran again closed the Strait of Hormuz hours after both countries announced last week that it was reopened, continuing a cycle of disruptions of the waterway that has become a focal point of their war.
The United States and Iran agreed to a ceasefire on the evening of April 7 after nearly six weeks of fighting that had disrupted global energy markets and spread through much of the Middle East. In the hours leading up to the ceasefire announcement, Trump threatened that “a whole civilization will die tonight” if Iran didn’t reach an agreement with the United States.
