Iran Rejects Talks as Trump Extends Ceasefire Indefinitely

Tehran. US President Donald Trump has extended the ceasefire with Iran indefinitely. Reactions to this decision have begun to emerge from the highest levels of the Iranian government, with officials actively sharing their views on social media even after midnight.

Iranian parliament member Mahmoud Nabavian wrote on the social media platform X that there is no longer any point in negotiating with the United States. "From this point on, any negotiations with the US would be completely harmful and pointless," he stated. He was also a member of the delegation that participated in the first round of Iran-US talks held in Islamabad.

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Iran's top military command, the Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters, issued a warning stating that in the event of any attack, the Iranian military would "strike pre-determined targets even harder." This warning appears to be directed at both the United States and Israel. Neither Nabavian's comments nor the military statement explicitly mention the extension of the ceasefire, although these reactions were published in Iranian media following Trump's announcement.

So far, no formal response has been issued by the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, its officials, the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, or chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.
