US and Iran’s two-week ceasefire due to expire on Wednesday

Iran’s parliamentary speaker said that Tehran is preparing “new cards on the battlefield” if fighting with the US resumes. A ceasefire between the two countries is due to expire on Wednesday and US President Donald Trump said an extension is “highly unlikely”. US media reports that Vice-President JD Vance will travel to Pakistan on Tuesday, but Tehran hasn’t confirmed it will send a delegation for talks in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad. The BBC’s chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet is reporting from Tehran on condition that none of her material is used on the BBC’s Persian Service. These restrictions apply to all international media organisations operating in Iran.
