I'm Mark Filippino, and here's the news you need to start your day.
U.S. President Donald Trump extended the ceasefire with Iran.
It otherwise would have expired tonight.
He said on social media yesterday that the truce will remain in place until negotiations
between the two countries conclude.
Now, this is a bit of a change of pace.
Trump said repeatedly that he did not want to extend the ceasefire.
But prospects of a second round of negotiations look bleak.
Iranian officials said yesterday they wo n't attend talks in Pakistan,
and they think further talks would be, quote, a waste of time.
That's according to Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency.
