Iranian Official Rejects Ceasefire Extension, Calls for Military Response
Tehran – An Iranian official has strongly dismissed President Donald Trump’s announcement of extending the ceasefire, advocating for a military response. Mahdi Mohammadi, a senior advisor to Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, stated that the extension of the ceasefire “means nothing.”
Mohammadi asserted that “the losing side cannot dictate terms” in relation to the ongoing situation. He characterized the continued US blockade of Iranian ports as an “envelopment,” comparing it to an act of “bombing,” according to BBC reports relayed through Dukagjini.
The official’s comments reflect a significant level of distrust towards Washington. Mohammadi accused President Trump of extending the ceasefire as a “maneuver for” undisclosed purposes. The statement underscores a continued Iranian stance challenging the terms of the existing agreement and signaling a potential escalation.
The Iranian government’s reaction highlights the ongoing tensions between the two nations and the debate surrounding the future of the ceasefire. Further developments are anticipated as diplomatic efforts continue.
