No agreement reached! The U.S. wants a ceasefire, but Iran outright rejects it! On April 6, according to foreign media reports, Iran has rejected the latest U.S. ceasefire proposal, clearly stating its desire to permanently end the war rather than settle for a temporary truce. Moreover, Iran has reiterated four conditions: First, it seeks a permanent end to the conflict, not just a temporary ceasefire. Second, a guaranteed agreement ensuring safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
Third, the U.S. must lift sanctions. Fourth, the U.S. must pay compensation for post-war reconstruction. Clearly, Iran’s swift rejection of the U.S. offer sends a very clear message: First, Iran is unafraid of continuing the conflict with the U.S. Second, the U.S. terms lack sincerity, and Iran has no trust in the United States whatsoever. In Iran's view, reaching a temporary ceasefire would be meaningless. Third, Iran has seen through America's tactics—temporary ceasefires are merely a ploy to buy time and redeploy forces.
In fact, the U.S. continues to intensify airstrikes against Iran. Once the situation appears to ease, Washington could instantly break its promises and launch new attacks. Rather than falling into this endless cycle of back-and-forth, it’s better to resolve the hostile status definitively from the root. Thus, Iran is re-emphasizing its demands: accept or don’t—either way, the fighting will continue. In short, the U.S. won’t give up until it’s exhausted and suffers painful losses. Iran’s firm stance should make the U.S. realize once and for all: what cannot be achieved on the battlefield will never be obtained at the negotiating table.
