Iran Denies Talks With US on Extending Ceasefire Amid Tensions
Iran has denied any talks with the United States to extend a ceasefire, stating there was no official start date for the agreement and thus nothing to extend. The interim deal, signed in June and calling for an immediate halt to military operations, quickly fell apart after the US reportedly violated its terms. Iranian sources emphasized that Washington withdrew from the agreement shortly after it was reached, while mediators continue efforts to ease tensions and explore a potential US return to the deal.
