Mahdi Mohammadi, a senior adviser to Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, has openly criticized US President Donald Trump's recent decision to extend the ceasefire with Iran indefinitely, asserting that it signifies nothing and that the 'losing side cannot dictate terms.' He emphasized that the ongoing blockade of Iran's ports in the Strait of Hormuz is equivalent to bombardment, warranting a military response from Iran. Trump announced the ceasefire extension to facilitate peace talks, attributing the request to Pakistani leaders. He noted that while the ceasefire is extended, the blockade will continue, highlighting Iran's financial struggles. Reports indicated that the second round of US-Iran talks was scheduled for Islamabad, but the outcome remains uncertain as Vice President JD Vance's travel plans have been postponed pending an Iranian proposal.
