Ebrahim Aziz, Chairman of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of the Iranian Islamic Parliament, stated in an interview on the 22nd (local time) that "Iran has never requested a ceasefire." He added, "Many citizens oppose a ceasefire and are demanding that the offensive continue and that the enemy be dealt with using stronger measures." Chairman Aziz explained that the Iranian military views this ceasefire as an opportunity for 'rearmament,' and Iran has fully utilized this opportunity. He also added, "The enemy is unreliable and continues to break its promises," stating that the same applies to the ceasefire issue in Lebanon.
