Earlier in the day, media reported, citing officials, that the United States and Iran "agree in principle" to extend the ceasefire.
"As for the rumors and assumptions about the extension of the ceasefire, none of them has been confirmed at the moment. Negotiations are currently underway through a Pakistani mediator, and we need to see how serious the opposing side is about diplomacy in reality. The United States must prove its serious approach," Baghaei said during a briefing.
