Both the US and Iran have warned that the clock is ticking towards new fighting. The ceasefire expires on Wednesday.
US President Donald Trump has said that negotiations will take place, but Iran is giving mixed signals about whether the country is prepared to talk.
“We do not accept negotiations under threat,” wrote Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf on X.
At the same time, sources told The New York Times that Ghalibaf is ready to travel to Pakistan's capital, Islamabad, for peace talks, as long as US Vice President JD Vance does so as well.
Trump has previously said Vance will go to Pakistan. Sources at the news site Axios say that Vance will depart for Islamabad on Tuesday morning, US time.
