Iran state TV says ceasefire to expire at midnight GMT

Iran says 'will not hesitate' to respond to US attack on its territory

Iranian state TV said a ceasefire with the United States in force since April 8 would expire at 3:30 am Wednesday, Tehran time (0000 GMT Tuesday).

The timing is consistent with when the 14-day truce went into effect, though US President Donald Trump recently said it would end a day later, on Wednesday evening Washington time. Mediator Pakistan, meanwhile, has said the ceasefire will end at 2350 GMT Tuesday.
