Iran does not accept ceasefire, but is ready to consider ideas for  final end to war - FM

ArmInfo. Iran does not accept a ceasefire, but if there is an idea for a final end to the war, Tehran will consider it. The Iranian Foreign Minister stated this in an interview with Al Jazeera.

"We don't believe in a ceasefire, we believe in the end of the war;  the end of the war means the end of the war on all fronts. This is  beneficial for regional peace, to resolve the issue of war in the  region once and for all and to see peace throughout the region - in  Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, Iran, and other countries in the region. I  believe that peace in the region must be comprehensive, precise, and  encompass all countries," he said, according to Pars Today. He  emphasized that Iran does not accept a ceasefire, but if there is an  idea for a final end to the war, they are ready to consider it.

"There are many friendly countries that are proposing their  initiatives and declaring their readiness to play a role in  establishing peace. We thank all friends who are making efforts in  this direction. Our position is the same as what I have stated here,  and we have conveyed it to our friends. We do not accept a ceasefire,  but if there is an idea for ending the war that satisfies our  conditions, so that the war ends definitively throughout the region  and the damage inflicted on Iran is compensated, we will certainly  listen and consider such ideas," the Iranian diplomat said.

As a reminder, on the morning of February 28, the US and Israel  attacked Iran. In retaliation, Iran launched strikes against US bases  in the Middle East. As a result of the US-Israeli aggression, Iran's  Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and several high-ranking Iranian military  officials were killed. On March 8, Iran's Assembly of Experts elected  Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the late Ayatollah Ali  Seyyed Khamenei, as the new Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of  Iran.
