Iran aide says Trump ceasefire extension ‘ploy’ for surprise strike An adviser to Iran’s parliament speaker said Donald Trump’s extension of the ceasefire “means nothing”. Mahdi Mohammadi said the continued blockade is equivalent to ongoing attacks and should be met with a military response. He added that the ceasefire extension is “a ploy to buy time for a surprise strike”, saying Iran should now take the initiative.
