Iran has rejected a proposed 45-day truce in its war with the United States and Israel, state media reported Monday, demanding a permanent halt to hostilities.
“Iran has conveyed to Pakistan its response to the American proposal to end the war,” the news agency IRNA said, without revealing what the offer contained.
“In this response — set out in ten points — Iran… has rejected a ceasefire and insists on the need for a definitive end to the conflict.”
Earlier, Iran’s army spokesman said the country will continue fighting the United States and Israel for as long as its political leaders deem necessary, emphasizing the “need to reach a point of security and not witness another war,” as Washington weighed a proposed temporary ceasefire.
“We can continue the war as long as the political authorities see fit,” Mohammad Akraminia told ISNA, adding that “the enemy must definitely regret it because, after this war, we need to reach a point of security and not witness another war.”
