Iran has rejected the latest ceasefire proposal, reportedly submitted by regional mediators, as it seeks a permanent end to the war, its state media reported on Monday.
"We won't merely accept a ceasefire," Mojtaba Ferdousi Pour, head of the Iranian diplomatic mission in Cairo, told The Associated Press. "We only accept an end of the war with guarantees that we won’t be attacked again."
Tehran conveyed its response to mediator Pakistan, the official IRNA news agency reported.
Its response instead gave ten clauses, including an end to conflicts in the region, a protocol for safe passage through the strategic Strait of Hormuz , lifting of sanctions and reconstruction, the agency reported.
