Iran did not agree to ceasefire, enemy begged for it, former judge says

Enemies of the Islamic Republic imposed a ceasefire out of fear, not through any agreement with Iran, retired Supreme Court adviser Ali Asghar Mojtahedzadeh said in remarks published Saturday.

Speaking to Rasa News, Mojtahedzadeh said Iran made no deal and did not seek peace, while the United States and Israel called for a halt to fighting after suffering heavy losses. He said Tehran’s official statements avoided any mention of a truce.

“The enemy attacked, was struck in return, and finally had to unilaterally announce a ceasefire,” he said.

“Iran is awake and armed,” said Mojtahedzadeh, the former head of the Special Clerical Court in Qom.
