Cleric says Iran leader okayed ceasefire but warned it wouldn’t hold

Apr 10, 2026, 11:23 GMT+1

An Iranian hardline cleric said the country’s leader approved a ceasefire while warning forces it would not be upheld and fighting would continue.

Mashhad Friday prayers imam Ahmad Alamolhoda said on Friday, “the leader [Mojtaba Khamenei] allowed the Supreme National Security Council to accept a ceasefire, but also told fighters it is false and the enemy will not adhere to it.”

“The Supreme National Security Council also announced it would accept a ceasefire to counter the US plot, but it ultimately became clear that the ceasefire itself was false and the enemy does not abide by one.”
