17:55Now PlayingDonald Trump has said there is "no time pressure" on his extension to the ceasefire with Iran.
His comments come after scheduled peace talks between the US and Iran were suddenly cancelled.
On Tuesday, as US vice president JD Vance was due to be flying to Pakistan for mediated talks on ending the war in Iran, Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he was extending the ceasefire agreement, but that the US will continue to block Iranian ports.
Meanwhile, the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping lane through which 20% of the world’s oil, as well as critical supplies of gas, aluminium and fertiliser is transported, remains a flashpoint, with Iran attacking cargo ships attempting to get through.
Today, we speak to the BBC’s diplomatic correspondent, Paul Adams, who is in the capital of Pakistan.
