Iran just officially cancelled attending peace negotiations.
Vance, Kushner and Witkoff also canceled their trip to those negotiations in Paklistan.
Seems the IRGC is putting their foot down, waiting for Trump to blink.
The question seems to be, will the U.S. wait for the official deadline for the Ceasefire to end (Tomorrow at 8:00 PM EDT) or will the US say something like "there's no sense in waiting anymore" and begin attacking again, perhaps tonight?
Iran is aggravated at Trump blockading them, and not reciprocating when Araghchi announced the lifting of Iran's blockade of the Strait.
THIS IS NOT GOOD!
Hal Turner Analysis
WHAT TRUMP DECIDES IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS WILL BE THE MOST CONSEQUENTIAL DECISION HE HAS EVER MADE.
If he decides to re-start the fighting, likely tens-of-thousands will be killed, and likely millions will be displaced in the Middle East.
The free flow of oil at market prices will all but stop, globally.
Fuel shortages will result in Rationing in many, MANY, countries.
Supply chain disruptions will arrive globally.
Economic recession-into-depression-into-collapse followed by stock market, bond market, and Bank collapse, are ALL on the list of possibilities.

UPDATED 5:24 PM EDT --
Donald Trump issues official statement on Iran ceasefire extension. Key details:

2: Pakistan’s Field Marshal Asim Munir and PM Shehbaz Sharif personally requested the US hold its attack
3: Trump has directed the US military to continue the blockade and remain “ready and able”
4: Ceasefire is being extended, but only until Iran submits a unified proposal
5: Talks remain on the table, but Trump’s framing is unmistakably conditional: “one way or the other”
6: Discussions must be “concluded one way or the other”, Trump’s words signal a hard endpoint
UPDATED 5:46 PM EDT --
