Iranian delegation walks out of talks amid U.S. ceasefire extension

Opinions are sharply divided domestically in the U.S. and even more so in the Middle East regarding the 60-day ceasefire extension, referred to as a memorandum of understanding.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeškijan, who remotely signed the memorandum with U.S. President Donald Trump, rejected calls to end uranium enrichment prior to the negotiations. "The U.S. demands that Iran does not build a nuclear bomb," Pezeškijan stated in a televised appearance, adding, "This is nothing new, we can sign that we have no intention of building a nuclear bomb."

The U.S. demands that Iran does not build a nuclear bomb. This is nothing new, we can sign that we have no intention of building a nuclear bomb.

He further asserted that the other side has no choice but to accept Iran's right to enrich uranium. Pezeškijan referred to the U.S. president as the "so-called president" who has executed a "complete turnaround." In a Fox News interview, Trump warned Pezeškijan to "watch his tongue" and "get his act together," or the U.S. would "take the rest of the country."

The Republican leader insisted that Americans still hold the cards and have various options if Iran does not cooperate at the negotiating table. Meanwhile, Iran is once again threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz if Israel attacks its ally Hezbollah in Lebanon.
