The conflict between the United States and Israel, on the one hand, and Iran, on the other, escalated on February 28. On April 7, US President Donald Trump announced a two-week mutual ceasefire. Subsequently, on April 11, Tehran and Washington held talks in Islamabad, but they failed to reach a comprehensive long-term resolution due to persistent differences. On April 21, President Trump expressed his intention to extend the ceasefire with Iran. However, according to Iranian state television, Tehran does not recognize Washington's unilateral extension and intends to act in accordance with its own national interests.
