Following talks with Pakistani mediators, the US president said he was ready for a ceasefire if Iran completely reopens the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump gave Iran an 8 p.m. deadline Tuesday for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had asked Trump for a two-week delay of his Iran deadline, and for the Strait of Hormuz to open for the same period.
