Iranian media reported on Wednesday evening that Iran has not yet agreed to the United States’ request to extend the ceasefire.

Tasnim News Agency stated that “despite the U.S. request to extend the ceasefire for two weeks, Iran has not agreed to this request so far.”

It added that “Iran believes that instead of asking for an extension, the United States should fulfill its obligations under the current ceasefire and stop exaggerating its demands during the negotiations.”

Meanwhile, Reuters and Bloomberg reported on Wednesday evening that the United States and Iran are moving toward extending the ceasefire, which is set to expire on April 21.

Reuters quoted a knowledgeable source as saying that “Israel expects the ceasefire with Iran to be extended.”

Bloomberg, for its part, quoted a source saying that “the United States and Iran are considering extending the truce for two weeks to allow more time for negotiations aimed at reaching a comprehensive peace agreement.”

The White House also denied on Wednesday evening reports claiming it had asked Iran to extend the ceasefire period.
