Tehran has yet to issue an official response to a proposed 60‑day extension of the fragile ceasefire, while President Donald Trump has also remained publicly silent on the matter. The plan, backed by regional mediators, aims to prevent renewed clashes in Lebanon and the Gulf, but uncertainty looms as both Washington and Tehran weigh their positions. Analysts note that Iran’s hesitation reflects internal divisions over whether to accept a longer truce under current blockade conditions, while Trump’s lack of comment leaves U.S. policy direction unclear. The diplomatic pause underscores the precarious balance between temporary calm and the risk of escalation, with humanitarian agencies warning that any breakdown could worsen civilian suffering across Lebanon and the Strait of Hormuz.
