Iran: No Talks with U.S. to Extend Ceasefire

ARK News.. An Iranian source said there have been no discussions with the United States over extending the ceasefire, accusing Washington of violating the interim agreement 48 hours after it was reached.

According to Reuters, a senior Iranian source said on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, that no discussions had taken place between Iran and the United States to extend the ceasefire because, from Tehran’s perspective, the agreement had no specified start date and therefore there was nothing to extend.

The Iranian source added that the United States violated the interim agreement 48 hours after it was concluded and then withdrew from it several days later.

He also said that “among the issues being discussed is the return of the United States to the memorandum of understanding and the establishment of a timeframe for implementing its commitments.”

According to the source, “there has been absolutely no progress” on either of these two issues.

U.S. President Donald Trump had said that he did not trust Iran, while stressing that the United States currently controls the Strait of Hormuz.
