- Iran told Reuters there was no progress on reviving an interim peace deal with the US, with a senior Iranian official separately denying the two sides discussed extending a ceasefire.
- Anadolu Ajansı reported that the US and Iran agreed to extend a 60-day ceasefire ahead of an August 17 deadline, directly contradicting the Iranian official's account.
Why it matters: The contradiction between outlet accounts means readers cannot yet verify whether a deal is alive or dead — an Iranian official denied a ceasefire extension was even discussed, while another outlet reported one was agreed.
