Iran rejects ceasefire, demands permanent end to war
Iran dismisses temporary truce proposals, insisting on lasting peace as US pressure mounts and regional tensions threaten global stability
DUBAI, UAE (MNTV) — Iran has rejected a proposed temporary ceasefire, stressing that any agreement must deliver a permanent end to the ongoing conflict rather than a short-term pause in hostilities.
According to a Reuters report, Tehran conveyed its response through Pakistan, outlining a multi-point framework that includes a comprehensive cessation of regional conflict, secure navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, sanctions relief, and post-war reconstruction.
The proposal comes amid intense diplomatic activity involving Washington and regional intermediaries, with discussions reportedly centered on a 45-day ceasefire as part of a phased agreement.
However, Iranian officials dismissed the idea of a temporary truce, arguing it would only allow the United States and its allies to regroup while failing to address the root causes of the conflict.
A senior Iranian official said Tehran would not reopen key shipping routes in exchange for what it described as a “short-lived arrangement,” adding that Washington has yet to demonstrate genuine commitment to a durable peace.
Iran has repeatedly demanded guarantees against future attacks, particularly from the United States and Israel.
Mediators, including Pakistan, have been actively engaged in shuttle diplomacy, with senior military and political figures maintaining continuous contact to push negotiations forward.
A proposed framework, informally dubbed the “Islamabad Accord,” envisions an immediate halt in fighting followed by broader talks aimed at a lasting settlement.
Despite mounting pressure from US leadership to secure a rapid ceasefire, Tehran has signaled it will not be rushed into accepting terms it views as inadequate or one-sided.
Iranian officials maintain that only a comprehensive agreement—addressing security guarantees, sanctions, and regional stability—can bring meaningful resolution.
The ongoing standoff has heightened concerns over disruptions to global energy supplies, as tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz continue to impact shipping routes and market stability.
