Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi publicly denied any requests for a ceasefire, declaring Iran will "continue the resistance" amidst the ongoing regional conflict.
Amidst an unprecedented and escalating regional war, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has publicly rejected rumors that Tehran is seeking an end to hostilities. Multiple Israeli media channels reported his statement unequivocally denying any diplomatic push for a truce from the Iranian side.
Nitzan Shapira on Telegram, a channel noted for its pro-Israel, pro-US, and pro-Netanyahu editorial stance, reported the exact quote from Araghchi: "We did not ask for any ceasefire - we will continue the resistance". This statement arrives during the massive US-Israeli Operation "Roar of the Lion," which recently resulted in the targeted assassination of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and extensive strikes on Iranian nuclear and military infrastructure.While the Hebrew-language sources were unanimous on the facts of the statement, slight variations in framing appeared across channels. Zirat News explicitly characterized the statement as hostile, reporting that Araghchi "clarifies and threatens: We did not ask for a ceasefire. We will continue the resistance.".
Similarly, The News Line—a channel whose sentiment tracks positively toward Israel but negatively toward Prime Minister Netanyahu—relayed the same unembellished quote. All Hebrew sources presented the Iranian official's use of the term "resistance" without sanitization, highlighting Iran's continued commitment to military confrontation despite widespread destruction within its borders and severe retaliatory strikes against Israel and US assets in the Gulf.
