Trump said Tuesday that the ceasefire was extended indefinitely.
President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military, government and infrastructure sites.
Following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire, initial U.S.-Iran talks in Pakistan earlier this month failed to reach a peace deal. On Tuesday, Trump announced he was extending the ceasefire and continuing the blockade until Iran's proposal is submitted and discussions are concluded "one way or the other."
President Donald Trump said that a renewed round of peace talks in the next 36 to 72 hours is "possible" in a text exchange with the New York Post Wednesday morning. The post article cited sources saying that a new round of talks is possible as soon as Friday.
"It's possible! President DJT," Trump said in a text message when asked about the possibility of those talks, according to the New York Post.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy confirmed its interdiction and seizure of two vessels on Wednesday which it said were "attempting to secretly exit the Strait of Hormuz."
The IRGC Navy named the two vessels as the MSC Francesca and the Epaminondas. Both were transferred to Iranian territorial waters "in order to examine the cargo and documents," the navy said.
ABC News has reached out to MSC for comment.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif thanked President Donald Trump for extending the ceasefire "to allow ongoing diplomatic efforts to take their course."
He called on both sides to continue to observe the ceasefire and said Pakistan will "continue its earnest efforts for negotiated settlement of conflict."
According to a White House official, Vice President JD Vance won't be traveling to Pakistan on Tuesday.
"In light of President Trump's TRUTH Social post confirming the United States is awaiting a unified proposal from the Iranians, the trip to Pakistan will not be happening today," the official said. "Any further updates on in-person meetings will be announced by the White House."
