The White House denied requesting an extension of the ceasefire agreement, while an Iranian spokesperson stated that it could not confirm whether the US and Iran would extend the ceasefire.

CoinFeed reported on April 16 that, according to Jinshi News, White House Press Secretary Levitt told reporters on Wednesday that reports that the White House had requested an extension of the ceasefire agreement in the Iran war were untrue. She stated that communication with Iran regarding the second round of negotiations was "productive," and that the negotiations were likely to be held again in Pakistan. Furthermore, according to Xinhua News Agency, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghae stated at a press conference in Tehran on April 15 that speculation about extending the ceasefire between Iran and the US could not be confirmed, and it was necessary to observe whether the US had genuine sincerity in its stated diplomatic position. According to the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), Baghae, in response to a question about whether the ceasefire between Iran and the US might be extended and which issues had made relative progress in the negotiations, stated that the US "has changed its position multiple times and its statements are contradictory," and even if some consensus is reached, it is difficult to guarantee that it will be implemented.
