The United States has not officially requested an extension of the ceasefire with Iran, White House spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt said on Wednesday, denying media reports.
According to her, the current ceasefire expires on April 21, while negotiations for a possible agreement continue. Leavitt stressed that reports of a formal request from the American side are "inaccurate", underlining that the talks remain active and productive.
She announced that a new round of negotiations is expected to take place in Islamabad, confirming Pakistan's key role as a mediator in the process.
Meanwhile, according to the spokeswoman, former President Donald Trump has received assurances from Chinese President Xi Jinping that China is not supplying Iran with weapons during this conflict.
Regarding the measures against Iran, Leavitt stressed that the blockade applies to all ships entering or leaving Iranian ports, including those in the Arabian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.
She also praised Pakistan's role, describing it as the "sole mediator" and an important partner in these negotiations.
