The UK's Guardian reported today that Trump's special envoy for Middle East issues, Witko, has made two ceasefire requests to Iran through multiple channels. Iran rejected the request, believing that a ceasefire was meaningless, and that the US was clearly using the ceasefire to prepare for a more thorough attack on Iran. Therefore, Iran will continue this war in which the US is clearly bogged down.
Comments: The lessons from past agreements being torn up by the US have made Iran no longer accept "verbal ceasefire, always flip-flop," which is a direct response to the bankruptcy of US credit. Iran insists on setting the terms of the ceasefire with rigid conditions, explicitly stating three ceasefire conditions: recognition of Iran's legitimate rights, payment of war damages, and international security guarantees.
