The ceasefire between the United States and Iran should not lead to its extension unless Tehran’s demands are met, including control over the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, Ebrahim Rezaei, a representative of Iran’s parliamentary committee on national security, said.
Writing on X, Rezaei emphasised that Tehran has set clear conditions for any continuation of the truce.
“The end of the ceasefire must not result in its extension. Either Iran’s rights are recognised, including our control over the Hormuz Strait, or there will be a return to war. The breathing space that has emerged should not be used for renewed aggression and rearmament. If our rights are not recognised, the fragile tooth of the ceasefire, which breeds the cruelty of Americans and Zionists, must be pulled out and set aside,” Rezaei stated.
