Iran's Foreign Minister: Iran is not prepared to discuss a ceasefire with the U.S. before the U.S. explains the reasons for the military action.
Iran's Foreign Minister, Alaghchi, responded to the ceasefire initiative, stating: "Before we consider the issue of a ceasefire, they must explain why they launched this aggression." Alaghchi emphasized that without this explanation, Tehran believes there is no reason to discuss a ceasefire or return to diplomatic negotiations.
Alaghchi also pointed out that Iran does not seek to expand the conflict: "No one wants to continue this war. This is not our war; it is imposed on us by the U.S. and Israel. They launched the war without cause, reason, or legality. What we have done is legitimate self-defense."
