Iranian Parliament Speaker says Iran does not want a ceasefire

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, stated on his X account that Iran absolutely does not want a ceasefire. He said the country must deliver a decisive blow to teach the aggressor a lesson so that it never again considers attacking Iran. Ghalibaf added that the Israeli regime expands its dominance through a vicious cycle of war, negotiation, and ceasefire, only to return to conflict, and that Iran intends to break this pattern. Ghalibaf is a former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force and is considered a prominent hardliner in Iranian politics.
