The Supreme National Security Council of Iran has released a statement confirming a ceasefire agreement with Israel, framing it as a “national decision to impose the cessation of war on the Zionist enemy and its vile supporters”.
This development marks a significant shift in the conflict, which has seen heightened tensions and military exchanges between the two nations.
According to the statement, Iran’s armed forces have delivered a “humiliating and exemplary response to the enemy’s cruelty”, culminating in a series of targeted attacks, including the assault on the US base in Qatar and dawn missile strikes on Israel.
The council emphasized that Tehran’s response to attacks on its territory was both proportional and timely, ultimately forcing the enemy into a position of regret and prompting the unilateral cessation of its aggression. As stated by the council, Tehran’s actions were aimed at compelling the enemy to accept defeat and halt its aggressive actions.
Despite the ceasefire announcement, the Supreme National Security Council of Iran conveyed a clear message of caution, highlighting the country’s lack of trust in the enemy’s words.
The council declared that the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran “without any trust to the words of the enemy and with their hands on the trigger, are ready to deliver a decisive and deterring response to any violating act by the enemy”.
This statement underscores Iran’s readiness to respond forcefully to any perceived breach of the ceasefire, emphasizing the military’s preparedness to protect the nation’s interests.
The ceasefire agreement represents a critical juncture in the conflict, with both sides having demonstrated their military capabilities and willingness to engage in hostilities. The implementation of the ceasefire will likely be closely monitored, given the historical complexities and tensions between Iran and Israel.
As the situation unfolds, the international community will be watching for signs of a durable peace or potential escalations that could destabilize the region further.
