Iran Rejects Ceasefire, Demands Permanent End to Aggression

FM Araghchi stated 'we never asked for a ceasefire' and demanded the war 'end completely and permanently,' rejecting Trump's claim that Iran was ready to negotiate. Iran's position hardened after the Larijani and Soleimani assassinations. Tehran insists on a permanent end to US-Israeli strikes and compensation as preconditions, leaving no diplomatic off-ramp visible.
