Iran, U.S. not discussing ceasefire extension, Iranian official says
Senior Iranian official states no talks underway to extend the current ceasefire as regional tensions remain elevated.
Iran and the United States are not engaged in discussions regarding an extension of the current ceasefire, a senior Iranian official said on Monday.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, did not provide further details on the duration or terms of the existing ceasefire but emphasized that no negotiations were underway to prolong it. The statement follows heightened regional tensions amid ongoing geopolitical disputes.
The ceasefire, which has been in place for several weeks, has been closely monitored by international observers amid concerns over potential escalation. The lack of movement toward an extension underscores the fragile nature of the truce and the persistent challenges in brokering a lasting agreement.
