On April 23, according to CCTV, the temporary ceasefire between the US and Iran was scheduled to end at 11:59 PM Eastern Time on April 22, which is 11:59 AM Beijing Time on April 23. However, the planned new round of negotiations with Iran has faced significant delays. On the evening of April 21, Iran officially refused to attend the second round of talks scheduled for April 22 in Pakistan. On the same day, Trump stated that he agreed to extend the ceasefire with Iran but would continue the maritime blockade and maintain a state of readiness. On April 22, Trump indicated that talks between the US and Iran could resume as early as April 24, adding that there is currently 'no timetable' for ending the conflict with Iran. The Iranian side, however, denied that new negotiations would take place. (Dongxin News Agency)
