The US-Iran talks scheduled for today are off. Trump decides to extend the truce, which also expires today, until Iran’s proposal is presented and “the discussions are concluded, one way or the other”. After a day shrouded in uncertainty, Vice President JD Vance’s trip to Islamabad – initially given only as temporarily suspended – has been “postponed indefinitely”, writes Axios citing US sources. “The extension of the ceasefire – is Tehran’s opinion – is certainly a ploy to gain time in view of a surprise attack”.
Tehran, “USA lift the blockade and we will negotiate in Islamabad”
“The United States must cease its ‘ceasefire violation’ before any new round of negotiations.” This was stated by the Iranian ambassador to the UN Amir-Saeid Iravani to the Iranian media Shargh, as reported by Al-Jazeera. “As soon as the blockade is lifted, the next round of negotiations will be held in Islamabad – he added – Iran is ready for any scenario. We did not start the military aggression. If they look for a political solution, we are ready. If they look for war, Iran is ready for that too”.
Trump, “Iran in financial collapse with Hormuz closed”
“Iran is collapsing financially! They want the Strait of Hormuz to be reopened immediately, they are short of money! They are losing 500 million dollars a day. Military and police are complaining of not being paid. SOS!!!” Thus on Truth the President of the United States Donald Trump.
