US President Donald Trump has announced an extension of the ceasefire with Iran, saying planned military action would be delayed to give Tehran more time to submit a proposal aimed at ending the conflict.
Iran’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Amir Saeid Iravani, says more than 1,300 civilians, including women and children, have been killed and thousands of others wounded as a result of US-Israeli strikes on the country.
Iran and Israel exchanged fresh strikes early on Saturday, as Tehran declared it would not engage in nuclear negotiations while under threat, according to media reports.
