US Denies Seeking Ceasefire Extension With Iran

Pro-Iran narrative

The U.S. torpedoed real progress by demanding Iran surrender its entire nuclear program — maximalist terms Tehran rightly rejected as violations of international law. Slapping a naval blockade on Iran mid-ceasefire while claiming to want a deal exposes the bad faith at the heart of Washington's approach. The ceasefire is hanging by a thread because the U.S. keeps escalating instead of negotiating.
