Iranian officials have warned that the U.S. proposal for a ceasefire and talks may be a trap intended to target and eliminate the nation’s remaining senior leaders.
Reports suggest Tehran sees a pause in strikes on energy infrastructure not as a genuine move toward peace, but as an economic tactic to manipulate global oil prices.
Meanwhile, Iranian Parliament Speaker Baqer Qalibaf stated that adversaries may seek to occupy an Iranian island with the support of a regional country; however, he warned that if such a move is attempted, Iran would destroy all critical assets of that regional state.
