Iran Rejects Cease-Fire Proposal
Iran Rejects Latest Cease-Fire Proposal, Wants Permanent End to War
Iran has rejected a new cease-fire proposal from the United States, insisting instead on a permanent end to the conflict along with firm guarantees against future attacks, according to the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).
The decision, announced on April 6, comes just hours before U.S. President Donald Trump’s deadline for Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face potential strikes on key infrastructure, including power plants and bridges.
Iran communicated its response through Pakistan, signaling that it is unwilling to accept a temporary pause in hostilities.
“We won’t merely accept a ceasefire,” Mojtaba Ferdousi Pour, head of Iran’s diplomatic mission in Cairo, said in remarks to The Associated Press.
“We only accept an end to the war with guarantees that we won’t be attacked again.”
