Iran's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Illavani, stated that Iran is ready to resume negotiations, but this depends on the United States. Negotiations will only begin if the US lifts the blockade. This statement came as US President Trump announced an extension of the ceasefire against Iran. However, according to Iran's Tasnim News Agency, Iran did not request an extension. The Speaker of the Iranian Islamic Parliament, and advisor to former head of the negotiating delegation, Ghalibaf, also stated on social media that continued blockades are tantamount to bombing and must be met with a military response.
