The Story in Brief
The United States denied on Wednesday that it had discussed extending a ceasefire with Iran, contradicting a report that cited Pakistani sources. Turkey's Anadolu agency had reported, based on unnamed Pakistani government sources, that Iran and the US agreed to extend the 60-day ceasefire that was part of their interim deal. The State Department said there were no such discussions. Iran has not officially responded.
The Indian Opinion
Conflicting reports about US-Iran talks are common, but this one stands out for its disputed source. Pakistani government leaks have often carried Tehran's messaging, especially when Washington denies. Until Tehran confirms or denies a deal, the Anadolu report should be treated as unsubstantiated. The real test will be whether the 60-day ceasefire is actually extended without public acknowledgment, or if the interim deal collapses.
