“Trump said in a social media post that the US would hold an attack on Iran until its leaders and representatives come up with a unified proposal.”
CORROBORATED
Multiple web search results indicate that Trump extended a ceasefire until an Iranian proposal is submitted. One source explicitly states he extended the ceasefire 'until Iranian proposal is submitted.' Another source confirms he extended the ceasefire to give leadership a chance to submit a proposal. This is supported by the context of negotiations mentioned in Wikipedia entries.

“Trump stated that the US would continue to blockade Iran and remain ready for action.”
CORROBORATED
The claim that Trump stated the US would continue the blockade and remain ready for action is supported by multiple sources. One web search result notes that Trump 'gave no indication he would end the blockade.' Another web search result mentions the US military continuing the blockade and remaining 'ready and able.' This is corroborated by the context of the 2026 blockade mentioned in Wikipedia.

“Trump's statement was a reversal from an earlier interview with CNBC on Tuesday where he said he was very unlikely to extend the ceasefire and would continue to bomb Iran.”
CORROBORATED
Multiple sources confirm a reversal in Trump's stance. One web search result states the new ceasefire 'marks a stark reversal for Trump, who told CNBC he is unlikely to prolong the ceasefire regardless of the progress made on a deal.' Another web search result quotes him saying, 'I don't want to do that. We don't have that much time,' in reference to being asked on CNBC Tuesday morning. This shows a clear contrast between his previous statements and the current extension.
