Tehran not seeking ceasefire, Iran parliament speaker says
Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, speaker of Iran's parliament, said on Tuesday that Tehran was not seeking a ceasefire in the war.
"We are certainly not seeking a ceasefire. We believe the aggressor must be struck so it learns a lesson and never again thinks of attacking Iran," Ghalibaf wrote on X.
He added that Israel relied on a cycle of "war, negotiations and ceasefire and then war again" to maintain its dominance, and said Iran would break that cycle.
