𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 Iran Rejects Any Extension of 60-Day Ceasefire

Iran has rejected claims that it has agreed to extend a 60-day ceasefire arrangement with the United States, saying the agreement has already broken down after Washington allegedly violated its terms.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the 60-day period outlined in the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding was designed to provide time for negotiations rather than establish a ceasefire that could automatically be extended. 

According to Araghchi, the United States failed to honor the agreement, after which hostilities resumed.

Tehran has also dismissed reports suggesting that both sides reached an understanding to extend the arrangement before the August 17 deadline. 

Iranian officials insist that Washington must first return to the original commitments and meet its obligations before any fresh negotiations can begin.

The disagreement has cast further uncertainty over the future of the U.S.–Iran ceasefire framework. With the deadline approaching, tensions remain high, particularly around the strategically important Strait of Hormuz.
