Iran parliament speaker says ‘we aren’t seeking a ceasefire’

Iran is not seeking a ceasefire in the war against the United States and Israel, Iran’s parliament speaker says, adding that the “aggressor” should be punished.

“Certainly we aren’t seeking a ceasefire,” Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, a former top commander in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and key figure after the killing of former supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, writes in an English-language X post.

“We believe the aggressor must be punished and taught a lesson that will deter them from attacking Iran again,” he adds.
