US President Trump described Iranian leadership as 'seriously fractured' while announcing a ceasefire extension and maintaining naval blockade on Iran's ports. Trump previously claimed US military campaign forced Iran's government change. Iran sent a delegation led by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf to Pakistan for US negotiations. Mojtaba Khamenei, son of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei killed in February airstrikes, became Iran's new supreme leader in March.
