Trump has not publicly announced a new deadline. In recent weeks, he has issued multiple timelines for the ceasefire and repeatedly postponed them.<\/p>\n

Earlier reports in the United States offered conflicting accounts of the extension, initially describing it as open-ended, then suggesting it would last \u201cthree to five days,\u201d and later indicating no set timetable at all.<\/p>\n

Israeli officials expressed skepticism that an agreement would be reached by the new deadline, as both sides continue to hold firm positions in negotiations, at least publicly.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the United States is maintaining its naval blockade on Iran, while Tehran has responded by detaining vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and opening fire on ships in the area.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the USS George H.W. Bush<\/a> aircraft carrier continues to advance toward the Persian Gulf and is expected to arrive in the region in the coming days, according to Israeli officials.<\/p>\n

In a separate development, Trump said Wednesday that Iran had halted the planned execution of eight women protesters.<\/p>\n

\u201cVery good news! I have just been informed that the eight women protestors who were going to be executed tonight in Iran will no longer be killed,\u201d he wrote on his social media platform. \u201cFour will be released immediately, and four will be sentenced to one month in prison.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that he appreciated Iran\u2019s leadership for respecting his request.<\/p>\n

A day earlier, Trump had publicly urged Iranian leaders to spare the women, writing: \u201cPlease do them no harm! Would be a great start to our negotiations.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Trump has not publicly announced a new deadline.
