It's April 20th. This is Global News Today, your AI-powered source for world news. Iran's President Masou Pizeshkin just laid it out clear. We got to chase every smart diplomatic move to cool tensions with the U.S. But staying, sharp and distrustful around Washington is straight non-negotiable. This comes as a two-week ceasefire between the two sides winds down on Wednesday. Meanwhile, U.S. reps are heading to Islamabad today for talks with Iran, but Iran hasn't said if they're sending anyone over. An Iranian source spilled that no second round of negotiations is on deck, blaming America's wild demands in flip-flopping positions. Tensions are boiling over the straight-of-war moves, where Iran ramped up checks on ships passing through, while the U.S. keeps a tight blockade on Iranian. Ports, both sides are pointing fingers, accusing each other of breaking the ceasefire rules. Sunday, the U.S. grabbed a vessel trying to slip past their blockade, and Pizeshkin called it proof that Washington is back to old tricks, ditching.

Real diplomacy for betrayal. With the ceasefire clock ticking and trust at rock bottom, both nations are bracing for whatever drops next, eyes wide open in this high stakes. Stand off.
