Iran has suspended direct communication with the United States following a warning from former President Donald Trump, who threatened to wipe out Iran's 'whole civilization.' This decision is seen as a calculated response to Trump's remarks and complicates the ongoing negotiations aimed at reaching a ceasefire agreement. Despite the communication freeze, indirect talks through mediators continue, indicating that both sides are still exploring potential solutions. The deadline set by Trump adds urgency to the situation, but it remains unclear if direct channels between Washington and Tehran will be restored before this deadline. The White House has not provided any comments regarding the current state of affairs.
