Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, stated that a "complete ceasefire" would only make sense if it was not undermined by a naval blockade and if Israel's actions on several fronts were stopped, UNN reports with reference to CNN.
A complete ceasefire only makes sense if it is not violated by a naval blockade and does not hold the global economy hostage, and if the Zionists' warmongering on all fronts is stopped
He added that "reopening the Strait of Hormuz is impossible with a clear violation of the ceasefire agreement."
Ghalibaf, who led the Iranian side in recent negotiations with the United States, also rejected the idea that pressure would force Iran to make concessions. "They did not achieve their goals through military aggression, and they will not achieve it through intimidation," he wrote. "The only way is to recognize the rights of the Iranian nation."
Let's add
President Donald Trump plans to give the Iranians a limited time to develop a single proposal to get diplomatic negotiations back on track, two sources familiar with internal discussions told CNN. It was not immediately clear whether Trump's message had reached the Iranians.
