He\u2019s a highly respected man, all over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Just an hour earlier, Sharif made a last minute call to Trump, requesting the U.S. reconsider targeting Iranian power plants and bridges, the latest of Trump\u2019s threats to Iran as the war enters its sixth week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDiplomatic efforts for peaceful settlement of the ongoing war in the Middle East are progressing steadily, strongly and powerfully with the potential to lead to substantive results in near future,\u201d the prime minister said in a post on X. \u201cTo allow diplomacy to run its course, I earnestly request President Trump to extend the deadline for two weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement that Trump \u201chas been made aware of the proposal, and a response will come,\u201d according to Fox News.<\/p>\n<p>This back and forth call for negotiations has caused the markets to rally late Tuesday afternoon. The diplomacy came after Trump threatened on social media to wipe out Iran\u2019s \u201cwhole civilization,\u201d a post that prompted Iranian mediators to briefly halt participation in talks, Bloomberg reported, citing a person familiar with the matter. A senior White House official downplayed the move and said legitimate negotiations were continuing.<\/p>\n<p>Markets cheered on the headlines. The S&amp;P 500 erased a 1.2% intraday decline to close up, while Brent crude slid to as low as $104.50 after settling near $109. West Texas Intermediate barely fell, however, only 0.4% to $111.93 a barrel.<\/p>\n<p>#Trump #hes #heated #negotiations #Pakistani #twoweek #ceasefire #plan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump said he was in \u201cheated negotiations\u201d to extend his self-imposed 8 p.m&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[245],"tags":[3189,518,5857,7484,1976,376,1830,166,1313,4798,2196,7485,154,5859,721,2773,684],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stock999.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3330"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stock999.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stock999.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stock999.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stock999.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3330"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stock999.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3330\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stock999.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3330"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stock999.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3330"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stock999.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3330"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
