Iranian state media reported on Wednesday that Iran has no intention of accepting a ceasefire offer from the United States.
State media FARS news agency cited sources as saying that US efforts are intensifying to put a ceasefire into effect and start indirect negotiations with Iran to end the war that began with the US and Israeli attack on the Islamic Republic on February 28.
“Iran has not accepted the ceasefire,” the official told FARS, according to a translation on the news site’s Telegram page that reported the interview.
“Fundamentally, it is not logical to enter into such a process with someone who violates the agreement,” the official said.
The same source also told Fars that Iran intends to realize its strategic goals in the war, and only then could it end the conflict, the newspaper reported.
The Associated Press reported early Wednesday that Iran had received President Donald Trump’s 15-point peace plan.
President Trump said Tuesday that the United States and Iran are currently negotiating. However, Iran denies there are any direct negotiations.
