A two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran would expire at 2350 GMT on Tuesday, meditator Pakistan said.

“Ceasefire ends at 4:50 am PST, 22 April,” Information Minister Attaullah Tarar posted on X, referring to Pakistan Standard Time.

The truce has been expected to end overnight Tuesday, though in comments to Bloomberg, US President Donald Trump said it would only expire a day later, on Wednesday evening Washington time.

Trump said it was “highly unlikely” he would agree to extend it.

Pakistan invited the warring sides to a second round of talks in Islamabad, but Iran has yet to formally respond, Tarar said.

He added that a decision by Tehran was “critical” before the truce expired.
