The United States (US ) has informed Israel that the recently extended ceasefire with Iran is set to expire on Sunday, Israeli media reported.
According to Israel’s public broadcaster KAN, US officials conveyed to Tel Aviv that the timeframe set by President Donald Trump for Tehran will run out within days, reports Anadolu.
Citing an unnamed diplomatic source, the broadcaster reported that Trump is seeking to reach understandings with Iran rather than engage in open-ended negotiations.
Israeli sources, however, indicated that a breakthrough by Sunday appears unlikely.
They also described what they termed “confusion” in US conduct, saying they have recently been learning about Trump’s moves through media reports and his posts on social media.
Earlier on Wednesday, a White House official told Fox News that the ceasefire could last between three and five days. Meanwhile, an Israeli source said the situation remains unclear and depends largely on Trump’s decisions, the broadcaster added.
