Tonight, the president extends a ceasefire in Iran indefinitely, hours before the deadline

and without more talks even scheduled. So where do negotiations stand as the war rages on?

Then Virginia voters say yes to a new congressional map that could net Democrats' war seats

in the House. Plus a warning shot to big business.

The president encourages U.S. companies not to file refunds for illegal tariffs they've already paid as the 11th hour gets underway on this Tuesday night.

Good evening once again. I am Stephanie Ruhl, and we're tracking a breaking news out of Virginia tonight where voters passed a redistricting map that could help Democrats retake the House in November.

We're going to have much more on that in just a few minutes, but you know where we have to start this evening. On the 53rd day of Donald Trump's war in Iran, because that is exactly where we are,

and the president did hit the pause button once again. The two-week ceasefire between Iran and the

U.S. was set to expire tomorrow, and it seemed that all hopes or peace talks before that had completely crumbled.

So this afternoon, Trump announced that he will extend the ceasefire in a social media post.

He said that he made the decision because Iran's leadership is so fractured, he wants to give

them more time. Trump says the ceasefire will continue until Iran's proposal is submitted

and discussions are concluded one way or another. The U.S. will continue until Iran's proposal is submitted and discussions are

concluded one way or another. The U.S. blockade of Iranian ports will also continue, but at this

point, here's a thing. We still have not heard anything from Iran. And by the way, this is now

the sixth time that the president has extended the deadline for Iran to avoid any attacks on its

electric plants. All right, we got a lot to get to, so let's get smarter with the help of our

leadoff panel. Jeff Mason joins us, Washington correspondent and senior member of the White

House team at Bloomberg, Sam Stein, managing editor for the bulwark and MS now political contributor,

Barry McCaffrey, a decorated combat veteran of Vietnam and a former battlefield commander

in the Persian Gulf. General, what is your thoughts, your reaction to the ceasefire extension?
