Iran's Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf's Advisor says Trump's decision to extend the ceasefire makes no sense. The ceasefire extension is an attempt to buy time for a surprise attack. Iran currently holds the initiative.
Context
The statement from Iran’s Parliament Speaker's advisor indicates rising tensions, suggesting that the ceasefire extension is viewed as a tactical move by the U.S. to gain leverage, rather than a genuine effort for peace. This shift could escalate geopolitical risks, particularly for energy markets like oil, and may drive up demand for safe-haven assets such as gold amid potential market volatility.
