Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tehran wants to continue peace talks but blamed the US blockade of its ports and "hypocritical rhetoric" as obstacles to genuine negotiations. The statement came as Trump announced an extension to the ceasefire to allow more time for Tehran to put forward a proposal, though Iran said it would not be attending the planned second round of talks in Islamabad. Iran has publicly insisted that Trump lift his blockade on ships before engaging in new talks, but Trump has resisted the demand.
