An Iranian regime spokesman said on April 22 that the country still has not decided on whether it would enter talks with the United States, coming hours after a ceasefire extension with the United States was announced by U.S. President Donald Trump and as several ships were seized by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz.

“We entered the negotiations in good faith and with seriousness, but the negotiating party [the United States] has shown disregard and lack of good faith,” Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, Esmaeil Baqaei, said on Iranian state-run television.
