Keyhan newspaper signals continued hostility, dismisses peace talks as strategic deception.
Iranian state media outlets, including the Supreme Leader’s mouthpiece Keyhan newspaper, have dismissed suggestions of a formal ceasefire following the 12-day war with Israel. The paper described the current state as a “cessation of war” rather than a ceasefire or peace agreement, asserting that negotiations are meaningless under such conditions.
According to Keyhan, diplomatic overtures are merely deceptive tactics designed to mislead Iranian leadership. The regime’s refusal to recognize a ceasefire aligns with recent hardline rhetoric and its escalating military posture in the aftermath of Israeli airstrikes.
