JUST IN: Iran Responds To Ceasefire Proposal

Iran is rejecting a U.S. ceasefire push, with Tehran’s state-run media insisting it won’t pause the fighting even as Washington ramps up pressure to wind the war down.

Iran “will not accept a ceasefire offer from the United States,” Iranian state media reported Wednesday, as the conflict that erupted after the Feb. 28 U.S.-Israeli strikes continues to ripple through oil markets and the broader Middle East.

FARS News Agency, a state media outlet aligned with the regime, cited what it called an informed source who claimed the U.S. has intensified efforts to lock in a ceasefire and open indirect talks.

“Iran does not accept a ceasefire,” the source told FARS, according to a translation of the outlet’s Telegram post.

“Basically, it is not logical to enter into such a process with those who violate the agreement,” the source added.
