The current ceasefire between the US and Iran will end at 03:00 on Thursday, April 23, if it is not extended. Just hours before the ceasefire is set to expire, President Trump stated, "Iran has violated the ceasefire many times."
The duration of the ceasefire currently in effect between the USA and Iran will end on Thursday, April 23, at 03:00, unless extended. As tensions between the parties continue, uncertainty about the future of the ceasefire persists.
TRUMP'S "VIOLATION" ACCUSATION
US President Donald Trump accused Iran of violating the ceasefire in a brief statement on his social media account. Trump stated, "Iran has violated the ceasefire multiple times!" On the other hand, it remains unclear whether Trump will extend the ceasefire again if no agreement is reached.
While the ceasefire was initially expected to end on the night of April 22, it is assessed that the duration has been extended to the morning of April 23 due to Trump's expression of "Wednesday evening Washington time."
WILL NEGOTIATIONS TAKE PLACE?
It was claimed that US Vice President JD Vance would go to Pakistan for planned talks with Iran. However, a source speaking to Reuters denied these claims, stating that Vance was in the USA.
Iran's state television also announced that no delegation had been sent to Pakistan for possible talks with the USA. Iranian officials reported that news about a meeting taking place in Islamabad does not reflect the truth.
PAKISTAN IS PREPARING, IRAN'S PARTICIPATION IS UNCERTAIN
Despite all the uncertainties, the Pakistani government is preparing to host possible talks. It was announced that approximately 20,000 security personnel have been assigned in the capital, Islamabad.
While the US delegation is expected to participate in the talks, it is still unclear whether Iran will be involved in the process.
HARSH MESSAGES FROM IRAN
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi stated that the US's violations of the ceasefire have complicated the diplomatic process. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf accused the Washington administration of undermining the negotiation process with its pressure policies.
Ghalibaf argued that the US is trying to turn the negotiation table into "conditions of surrender," emphasizing that Iran will not accept negotiations under pressure.
