- Iran has not yet made a decision on whether to attend talks with the United States in Pakistan, foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said Tuesday.
- Baghaei said that U.S. moves against two Iranian vessels amounted to "piracy at sea and state terrorism" and questioned Washington's seriousness in negotiating.
- ”We went to this negotiation with good faith and sense of seriousness, but you have a negotiating party that has shown its lack of seriousness, lack of good faith,” he stated. “They're changing their position frequently, these flip flops, threats of war crimes."
- US president Donald Trump has said the current ceasefire will end on Wednesday evening Washington time, and that it is “highly unlikely” he will extend it.
- "I expect to be bombing because I think that's a better attitude to go in with,” he told CNBC Tuesday. “But we're ready to go. I mean, the military is raring to go.”
