If the United States does not fulfill the terms of the agreement in the next few weeks, in particular, does not stop the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, then Iran will go on the offensive. This was stated to Reuters by a senior Iranian official.

He said that Tehran is moving from a defensive to an offensive policy because it is losing faith in the possibility of a diplomatic settlement.

"Within a short period of several weeks, set by Iran, the United States must fulfill all the provisions of the agreement. This is a precondition for further negotiations with the United States. Iranian structures should be ready for an escalation of tensions in The Strait of Hormuz and the wider region, as Iran will be ready to make decisions and take action on complex issues. It is a proven fact that the United States is not serious about a cease-fire and does not intend to assume any obligations in this regard, therefore relying on intermediaries in the hope of achieving a permanent cease-fire is unrealistic. Iran will not wait indefinitely while the United States continues the naval blockade," the Iranian official said.

As reported by EADaily, today a number of Arab media once again announced that the United States and Iran has agreed to extend the 60-day truce. There was still no official information about this.
