TEHRAN: The Iranian parliament’s advisor has rejected the US president‘s announcement of an extension to the ceasefire, saying that the announcement has no significance and that a defeated America cannot dictate conditions.

The advisor added in his statement that the ongoing blockade against Iran is actually tantamount to bombing and should be responded to with military action.

He said that the extension of the ceasefire could actually be a ploy to gain time for a surprise attack, so Iran will have to take the lead and take control of the situation.

Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations, Amir Saeed Eravani, has said that Tehran has received some indications that the US is ready to lift the blockade.

Amir Saeed Eravani said that Islamabad will participate in the talks if the US blockade is lifted, and that lifting the US blockade on the Strait of Hormuz is a condition for the resumption of talks.
