Has it been 2 or 3 days yet?"So far, no delegation from Iran has departed for Islamabad, Pakistan," Iranian state TV said on Tuesday, dismissing reports suggesting otherwise.
Both sides have accused the other of ceasefire breaches, with the US leader saying Iran fired on ships in the crucial trade route it has choked, and Tehran calling the US blockade and its seizure of a ship violations as well, etc…
Despite Tehran so far shunning new talks, Trump expressed confidence he could secure an agreement that favored Washington?
"We're going to end up with a great deal. I think they have no choice... We're in a very, very strong negotiating position," Trump told broadcaster CNBC on Tuesday.
Iranian officials, however, say they feel the Trump administration has not acted in good faith in negotiations and has refused to back down from what they called excessive demands.
Its parliament speaker said the country would not accept talks "under the shadow of threats" from the US leader, and would "show new cards on the battlefield" if the conflict resumed.

President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he would extend a ceasefire with Iran hours before it was due to expire, pledging to refrain from attacks until discussions with Tehran “are concluded, one way or the other.” ??? Meaning what?

His latest (latest-latest) reversal had the effect of handing the initiative to Tehran, which has reveled in its ability to dial up pressure on global energy markets through its stranglehold over the Strait of Hormuz. And it was the latest measure of Trump’s appetite for renewed conflict, which for now appears low.![]()
