Iran informed the American side through a Pakistani mediator that it would not come to Islamabad. At the moment, there are no prospects for participating in negotiations, the agency writes.
Iran stated that, in the current situation, it considers participation in negotiations a waste of time, as the U.S. "prevents the achievement of any acceptable agreement." Therefore, Iran will not participate in the "American show."
U.S. President Donald Trump, in turn, announced that at Iran's request, he extended the ceasefire and truce until Iran presents its peace plan.
Trump found an excuse for it: because Iran's leadership is divided.
"Based on the fact that the leadership of Iran is seriously divided, which is not unexpected, and at the request of Field Marshal Asim Munir and Prime Minister of Pakistan Shahbaz Sharif, we have been asked to suspend our attacks on the state of Iran until their leaders and representatives can develop a unified proposal. In this regard, I have ordered our armed forces to continue the blockade and in all other respects remain ready and capable, and, accordingly, to continue the ceasefire until their proposal is presented and discussions are concluded one way or another," Trump wrote on the Truth Social social network.
Thus, the situation around Iran remains uncertain, and oil prices remain high.
