Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf says Tehran is not seeking a ceasefire in its war with the US and Israel, adding that “aggressors” should be punished.
“If the enemy attacks us from any country, Tehran will respond decisively,” he tells Iran’s state TV.
The war began on February 28 with US-Israeli strikes and has seen Iran attack Israel and countries across the region.
