[US Media: Iran Cuts Off Direct Diplomatic Communication with the US] According to a report by Jinse Finance on April 7, Middle Eastern officials stated that Iran has cut off direct communication with the United States following Trump's morning threat to destroy Iran's entire civilization. However, negotiations with ceasefire mediators are still ongoing. Officials noted that this move temporarily increases the difficulty for Trump to reach an agreement before the 8 PM Eastern Time Tuesday deadline, but the negotiations have not been terminated. One official mentioned that Iran intends to express dissatisfaction and resistance by cutting off communication. It remains unclear whether direct dialogue will resume before the deadline. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. (The Wall Street Journal)
