The ceasefire is scheduled to end late today after 14 days but if talks are scheduled for Wednesday then presumably that will be extended.
That said, I don’t know how good CNN’s reporting is here because an hour ago, Trump spoke to the New York Post and said the US delegation was on the way to Pakistan:
“They’re heading over now,” Trump said. “They’ll be there tonight, [Islamabad] time.”
But now CNN reports that they haven’t left.
Now maybe that’s some kind of security or OpSec but it’s yet-another example of the confused reporting and classing narratives from this conflict.
There are also tweets out there about Trump saying an Iran deal will be signed today but he simply hasn’t said that. It’s not clear if markets bit on those headlines because stock futures did rise after them.
