The spokesperson for Iran's Foreign Ministry, Bagae, said: "We will take peaceful actions according to specific mechanisms. Our position has already been conveyed through intermediaries; making demands should not be seen as yielding to an enemy. Iran is clear about what it wants."
He said, "We call for ending the war and preventing its recurrence. Ceasefire means pressing pause, strengthening forces to carry out new crimes."
Iran has received proposals from Pakistan, but will not accept any deadlines or pressure in making decisions, nor will it reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for a 'temporary ceasefire'.
Iran has clearly stated that what it seeks is a permanent end to this war, not a ceasefire, and will not wait 48 days only to face bombing again.
This time, Iran aims to settle matters once and for all. Otherwise, continue.
