Tehran's foreign ministry said Iran would not allow Washington to determine "the timing of war and peace," as Trump claimed the Islamic Republic had requested negotiations and mediators sought to revive the collapsed interim deal.

Iran asserts control over peace timing amid US tensions. US ends Iranian blockade by July 31 at 10.5% YES, by August 31 at 48.5% YES.

Iran says the U.S. cannot dictate the war's course or timing, calling Washington trapped in a "self-made quagmire."
