Iran’s government says it is not discussing an extension of a ceasefire with the United States. A senior Iranian official tells Reuters there are no talks to extend the arrangement because, from Tehran’s perspective, the interim deal has no start date, so there is nothing to extend.
The comments come after reports circulated by Turkey’s Anadolu news agency, citing Pakistani government sources, that Iran and the US had agreed to extend a 60-day ceasefire. Other coverage frames the interim understandings as an extendable 60-day period tied to negotiations toward a final arrangement that would limit Iran’s nuclear program and involve lifting US sanctions.
Across outlets, the key difference is what each reports about the ceasefire’s status: Iranian officials deny any extension discussions, while Anadolu’s report—repeated by Reuters—describes an alleged agreed extension. The dispute centers on how the interim framework is dated and implemented.
