Iran, US not discussing ceasefire extension, senior Iranian official says

According to Iran, there were no negotiations with the United States regarding an extension of the ceasefire. Tehran argues that the agreement did not specify a commencement date, rendering extension unnecessary. The interim deal, which was signed in June, fell apart shortly afterwards due to the U.S. violating its terms. Current discussions by mediators involve a potential return of the U.S. to this interim agreement.
