Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghae stated at a press conference in Tehran on the 15th that speculation regarding an extension of the Iran-US ceasefire could not be confirmed, and it was necessary to observe whether the US possessed genuine sincerity in fulfilling its stated diplomatic position. According to the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), Baghae, in response to questions about the possibility of an extension of the Iran-US ceasefire and which issues had made relative progress in the negotiations, stated that the US "has repeatedly changed its position and made contradictory statements," and even if some consensus were reached, it would be difficult to guarantee its implementation. Therefore, the dialogue between Iran and the US is proceeding under very complex circumstances. Regarding the progress of the negotiations, Baghae stated that the relevant issues are interconnected, and all aspects need to be advanced as a whole. Currently, the dialogue continues through Pakistan as an intermediary.
