I have therefore directed our Military to continue the Blockade and, in all other respects, remain ready and able, and will therefore extend the Ceasefire until such time as their proposal is submitted, and discussions are concluded, one way or the other.”
Iran, for its part, officially withdrew from the negotiations and refused to send a delegation to Pakistan. Military equipment and crowds of people eager to continue the war with the United States took to the streets of Iranian cities. Mehdi Mohammadi, adviser to the speaker of the Iranian parliament, stated:
"Trump's extension of the ceasefire has no meaning for us. The losing side cannot dictate terms. Continuing the blockade is no different from bombing, and it must be met with a military response. Moreover, Trump's extension of the ceasefire is undoubtedly an attempt to buy time for a surprise attack. The time for Iran's counter-initiative is now."
