Iran Denies Talks on Extending Ceasefire, Accuses US of Violating Interim Deal
Iran has denied reports of talks with the United States to extend a 60-day ceasefire under an interim agreement signed in June, stating there was no start date for the ceasefire and thus nothing to extend. A senior Iranian source accused the U.S. of violating and withdrawing from the agreement shortly after it was reached. The deal, which aimed to halt military operations, quickly unraveled with both sides declaring it suspended or over. Mediators continue efforts to ease tensions between the two countries.
