Iran and US Not Discussing Ceasefire Extension, Senior Iranian Official Tells Reuters
A senior Iranian source said Tehran sees no basis for an extension as the interim deal had no start date and talks have made no progress.
- On Wednesday, a senior Iranian source told Reuters that Iran held no discussions with the United States regarding a ceasefire extension, asserting the interim agreement had no formal start date to extend.
- The interim memorandum of understanding signed in June intended to halt military operations but quickly unraveled after President Donald Trump declared the deal "over" on July 7, alleging U.S. violations within 48 hours.
- With only six vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday compared with roughly 130 to 140 ships daily prewar, the International Energy Agency projects a 4.3 million barrel-per-day decline in global oil supply.
- Iran's top security official Mohsen Rezaei warned Tuesday the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed unless Washington accepts conditions including the release of frozen assets and an end to regional conflicts.
- Central Command has redirected 55 commercial vessels and disabled 3 non-compliant ships, with U.S. Navy MH-60 helicopters recently disabling a Panama-flagged cargo vessel using Hellfire missiles for violating the blockade.
