Iran states agreement to suspend military combat but the war is not over yet

Golden Finance reports that on April 22, local time in the early hours of April 22, in response to Trump’s statement about extending the ceasefire period, Iran’s state television announced that Iran has become the victor on the battlefield. Controlling the Strait of Hormuz is an extremely valuable bargaining chip Iran has gained in this war. Iran has agreed to a pause in military combat, but the war is not over yet. Meanwhile, Iran’s state television also pointed out that Iran must be vigilant against any remarks implying that Iran must participate in negotiations, or else the enemy will attack Iran. Even if the maritime blockade is lifted, Iran’s participation in negotiations must be conditional on not raising any issues that infringe on Iran’s independence and dignity, with the primary concerns being Iran’s defense and missile capabilities, as well as nuclear capabilities and technology.
