Iran does not intend to recognize the unilateral extension of the ceasefire by the US and will act in accordance with its own interests, Iranian state television reported.
“Tehran does not recognize the ceasefire announced by Trump, has the full right not to comply with it and will act in accordance with its national interests“, the statement by Iranian state television said.
The Iranian delegation will not participate in the talks with the US in Islamabad on April 22. Iran has informed Pakistan of this, the Tasnim news agency reported.
According to its sources, the decision not to attend the talks on April 22 is “finally“. The agency also notes that Tehran currently “sees no prospects for resuming its participation in the consultations“, as the US “prevents reaching an acceptable agreement“.
Hours ago, US President Donald Trump said on Truth Social that the ceasefire and the naval blockade of Iran would continue until Tehran presented a “unified proposal“ to resolve the dispute.
According to the version of the US president, the Pakistani leadership had asked the US to extend the ceasefire until Tehran “can develop a unified proposal“. “Therefore, I have ordered our military forces to maintain the blockade and remain ready and able to act, and therefore I am extending the ceasefire until their proposal is presented and the negotiations are concluded one way or another“, he said the American leader.
