The Persian nation considers it possible to discuss parameters of uranium enrichment.
On Wednesday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said that his country does not confirm any agreement with the United States on extending the truce.
He also mentioned that no specific dates have been set yet for a new round of U.S.-Iran talks, but added that a Pakistani delegation may visit Iran on Wednesday to further discuss the negotiation process.
“We are not optimistic about the sustainability of any agreement with the United States and we do not support any possibility of extending the ceasefire,” he said, as reported by Alma Plus TV.
“The exchange of messages is carried out exclusively through the Pakistani mediator, and the United States must demonstrate its seriousness in the negotiations.”
“U.S. officials insist on pretending that they are unaware of Iran’s positions, and this in itself is proof of their bad intentions,” the Persian diplomat emphasized.

Currently, Iran considers it possible to discuss parameters of uranium enrichment with the U.S., but insists on its right to use nuclear energy.
“Iran’s right to the peaceful use of nuclear energy is a right that no one has granted us, so it cannot be taken away from us under pressure or in war times,” he said, noting that this right is part of Iran’s rights as a member of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
“As long as we are members of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, it is natural that we continue enrichment.”
The Persian nation has also asked for the release of its blocked assets in the Islamabad talks, with no conclusion reached, Baghaei noted, stressing that the Iranian armed forces are ready to confront any U.S.-Israeli move.
“Iran does not participate in negotiations to implement the dictates of the United States, but negotiates to achieve its national interests,” the Persian diplomat recalled and mentioned that the ceasefire in Lebanon is one of the key points of any negotiation.
Starting on Feb. 28, the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran killed Iran’s then Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, along with senior military commanders and more than 3,000 civilians. Iran responded with waves of missile and drone strikes targeting Israel and U.S. assets in the Middle East.
A two-week ceasefire between Iran and the United States took effect on April 8. Lengthy talks between Iranian and U.S. delegations were later held in Pakistan’s Islamabad, but failed to produce an agreement.
On April 15, The Associated Press, citing officials, reported that the United States and Iran have “agreed in principle” to extend the ceasefire.
