Iran and US Not Discussing Ceasefire Extension, Senior Iranian Official Tells Reuters
- On Thursday, a senior Iranian source told Reuters that Tehran and the United States are not discussing a 60-day ceasefire extension, rejecting reports from Turkish media and citing that the June agreement lacked a start date.
- The June interim ceasefire deal quickly unraveled after President Donald Trump declared the pact 'over' on July 7, 2026, with Tehran claiming the United States violated the agreement within 48 hours of signing.
- Mediators remain at an impasse, with the Iranian source reporting 'absolutely no progress' on a U.S. return to the interim agreement or defining an implementation timeframe as both nations escalate rhetoric.
- Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei recently overhauled Iran's security hierarchy, appointing Mohsen Rezaei to the Supreme National Security Council and signaling a shift toward an 'offensive doctrine' in response to the diplomatic breakdown.
- The Strait of Hormuz remains blocked as Tehran maintains closure will persist until the United States accepts its conditions, while the International Energy Agency projects a 4.3 million barrel-per-day decline in global oil supply this year.
