Iranian media, quoting an Iranian security source, reported that US President Donald Trump's statements regarding extending the 48-hour deadline to 5 days "did not affect the fighting operations and are merely propaganda."
The Iranian security source added: "Iran intends to establish a new legal system in the Strait of Hormuz," stressing that his country "will defend itself against the United States and Israel as long as it has not yet received compensation and guarantees that the aggression will not be repeated."
He indicated that "Tehran has new surprises in store for the coming days, and their implementation will have significant consequences."
US President Donald Trump had previously announced that he had ordered a postponement of military strikes against power plants and infrastructure in Iran, following what he described as good and productive talks between the two sides.
He stated that he had instructed the Ministry of War to postpone military strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure for five days, with the decision contingent upon the success of ongoing meetings and discussions.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry confirmed that no talks are taking place between Tehran and Washington, noting that Trump's statements are part of attempts to reduce energy prices and buy time to implement his military plans.
