🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 Contradictory signals on whether the US-Iran truce, set to expire Aug. 17, will be extended.
Turkey's Anadolu Agency reports that Pakistani government sources say the US and Iran have "agreed" to extend the 60-day ceasefire under the Islamabad MoU, though the two sides are still exchanging messages on the length of the extension.
But a senior Iranian source tells Reuters otherwise: there's no talk of an extension because, from Tehran's view, no defined period ever began — so there's nothing to extend. The US violated the interim agreement 48 hours after it was signed and pulled out of it days later.
The Iranian source added that Washington returning to the interim agreement and setting a timeframe for implementing its commitments is under discussion via mediators, but there's been no progress on it.
Neither Washington nor Tehran has issued an official statement.

I don't trust Reuters but the statement from Iran seems consistent with their attitude towards negotiations thus far imo.
