IRAN DENIES CEASEFIRE EXTENSION TALKS Iran says there have been no talks to extend a 60-day ceasefire with the U.S., rejecting reports that an agreement had been reached. A senior Iranian source told Reuters that discussions via mediators instead focus on Washington returning to the interim pact and setting a timeline for its commitments. Iran says no progress has been made, accusing the U.S. of violating the agreement shortly after it was signed. The Strait of Hormuz remains a key sticking point.(*Walter Bloomberg)
