Iran stands firm on its decision not to cooperate with the demands of US President Donald Trump. Following Trump's announcement of a ceasefire extension, an adviser for Tehran's top negotiator said that Iran did not request an extension to the ceasefire and its leaders have no plans to reopen the Strait of Hormuz anytime soon.
The adviser also sees Trump's ceasefire extension as a ploy to buy time for a possible strike that the US is planning against Iran. The ceasefire extension means nothing to Iran because it believes that the losing side cannot dictate the terms of the ongoing war.
