President Trump said Friday that Iran had asked to continue talks but that he made clear the ceasefire is over. The statement, attributed to Trump, was reported without additional context or verification from Iranian sources. Trump has previously made similar statements about Iran: on June 10 he declared an end to the ceasefire and vowed heavy strikes; on July 8 he called Iran 'psychopaths and cancer'; and on July 9 he claimed Iran called seeking a deal. The consistency of the messaging suggests a hardline U.S. stance, but the lack of independent confirmation from Tehran leaves the status of any backchannel negotiations unclear.
