Iran Denies Reports of Extension to Ceasefire Agreement with US

Iran has denied reports that it has agreed to extend a ceasefire agreement with the United States, saying that there have been no talks or progress on extending the truce.

An Iranian official told an international news agency that no discussions are currently taking place with the United States regarding an extension of the ceasefire.

The official said there was no fixed date for the start of the ceasefire in the first place, therefore, the question of extending it does not arise.

According to the Iranian official, no negotiations are underway between Iran and the US to extend the ceasefire. The official also accused the United States of violating the agreement 48 hours after it was reached.

Iran has called on the United States to comply with the memorandum of understanding and fulfill its obligations under the agreement.

The Iranian official further said that there has been no progress so far regarding the ceasefire issue.

Earlier, a Turkish news agency had reported that Iran and the United States had agreed to extend a 60-day ceasefire.

According to the earlier report, the extension was agreed under the Islamabad memorandum of understanding. The report also claimed that the existing ceasefire between Iran and the US was scheduled to expire on August 17, but both sides had agreed to extend it.

However, Iran’s latest statement directly contradicts those reports, with the Iranian side maintaining that no talks or agreement on extending the ceasefire have taken place.

The situation remains closely watched as developments between Iran and the United States could have wider implications for regional stability.
