The United States has reportedly informed Israel that the recently extended ceasefire with Iran is set to expire on Sunday, according to Israeli media outlets.

Israeli public broadcaster KAN reported that US officials communicated to Tel Aviv that the deadline set by President Donald Trump for Iran is approaching its end within days. A diplomatic source cited by the broadcaster said Trump is aiming to reach understandings with Iran rather than engaging in prolonged negotiations.

Israeli officials, however, believe that achieving any meaningful breakthrough by Sunday is unlikely. They also expressed concerns over what they described as “confusion” in US policy, noting that they have recently been learning about developments through media reports and Trump’s social media statements.

Earlier, a White House official told Fox News that the ceasefire could last between three to five days, while Israeli sources said the situation remains uncertain and largely dependent on Trump’s decisions.

Trump had previously announced an extension of the ceasefire after a request from Pakistan, stating that it would remain in place until Iran presents a “unified proposal.” However, reports suggest there is still no clear timeline or agreed framework for further talks.

Tensions in the region have continued since joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran in late February, followed by retaliatory attacks from Tehran targeting Israel and other regional areas hosting US interests.

Pakistan has played a mediating role, hosting discussions between Washington and Tehran in early April after helping secure the initial ceasefire earlier in the month. While further negotiations are being planned, significant uncertainty remains over whether progress can be made.

Meanwhile, regional tensions have escalated further, including maritime incidents in the Strait of Hormuz, where Iran has increased its control over shipping routes. Iranian forces reportedly seized multiple vessels, accusing them of violating regulations and interfering with navigation systems.

Iranian officials have rejected US actions in the region, including naval restrictions, calling them unlawful and equivalent to “piracy.” They argue that any lasting ceasefire must include the lifting of blockades and recognition of Iran’s rights.

The situation remains fluid, with no confirmed extension or formal agreement beyond the current ceasefire period.
