"We urge the Trump administration to pressure Israel to reduce its demands and end its invasion of the country.

"Based on the fact that the Iranian government is seriously fractured, not unexpectedly so and, upon the request of Field Marshal Asim Munir, and PM Shahbaz Sharif, we have been asked to hold our attack on Iran until such time as their leaders and representatives can come up with a unified proposal.
I have therefore directed our military to continue the blockade and, in all other respects, remain ready and able, and will therefore extend the ceasefire until such time as their proposal is submitted, and discussions are concluded, one way or the other".
