The adviser to the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mahdi Mohammadi, reacted sharply to a statement by United States President Donald Trump regarding an extension of the truce, describing it as “meaningless”.
In a post issued on Tuesday on the social network X, Mohammadi stated that a party which has suffered defeat cannot impose its terms.
تمدید آتش بس از جانب ترامپ هیچ معنایی ندارد. طرف بازنده نمی تواند شرایط تعیین کند. تداوم محاصره تفاوتی با بمباران ندارد و باید به آن پاسخ نظامی داد. ضمن اینکه تمدید آتش بس از جانب ترامپ قطعا به معنای خرید زمان به منظور ضربه غافلگیرانه است. زمان ابتکار عمل ایران است.

He alleged that the continuation of the American blockade of Iranian ports amounts to a “siege”, adding that it “is no different from bombing”.
Mohammadi also claimed that President Trump seeks to use the extension of the ceasefire as a pretext to launch an attack on Iran.
