Iran Military Official Declares Nation Remains At War
Iranian Military Maintains Wartime Readiness Status
Lieutenant Colonel Ibrahim Zulfiqari, spokesperson for the Iranian armed forces, has officially declared that the nation remains in a state of war despite recent diplomatic progress. During a formal address, Zulfiqari emphasized that the military continues to operate under high-alert protocols, maintaining that the current suspension of active hostilities does not represent a permanent conclusion to the conflict.
Iranian Armed Forces Claim Victory In Negotiations
The military spokesperson characterized the ongoing ceasefire negotiations as a significant triumph for the Iranian people. According to Lieutenant Colonel Zulfiqari, the Iranian government successfully compelled its adversaries to accept a cessation of hostilities based on Tehran’s specific terms, framing the diplomatic development as a strategic concession by opposing forces under pressure.
Official Critique Of US President Reliability
In his statement, Zulfiqari targeted the credibility of United States President Donald Trump, asserting that the American leader has proven himself to be fundamentally untrustworthy. The Iranian spokesperson cited the history of nuclear negotiations and recent military escalations as primary evidence that international agreements involving the United States cannot be relied upon by the Iranian state.
Historical Distrust In Nuclear Diplomacy Cited
The Iranian military leadership reiterated its stance that past experiences with nuclear negotiations demonstrated a lack of reliability from the American side. Zulfiqari noted that the precedent set during previous diplomatic engagements serves as a warning for current and future pacts, suggesting that Iran remains skeptical of long-term compliance from Washington regarding the latest security frameworks.

Following forty days of active kinetic warfare between the United States and Iran, a two-week temporary ceasefire has been established. Under the specific provisions of this agreement, the United States and Israel have committed to halting all offensive military strikes against Iranian targets. In exchange, Tehran has agreed to several logistical concessions to stabilize regional maritime operations.
Reopening Of The Strategic Strait Of Hormuz
A primary condition of the interim agreement involves the restoration of international maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has committed to reopening the vital waterway to ensure the flow of global commerce and energy supplies, which had been severely disrupted during the preceding weeks of military engagement and naval blockades.
Pakistan Facilitates Successful Diplomatic Mediation Efforts
The breakthrough in negotiations was made possible through the active mediation of Pakistan. Diplomats from Islamabad worked to bridge the communication gap between Washington and Tehran, facilitating the dialogue required to reach the fourteen-day truce. This mediation has been recognized as the primary factor in de-escalating the immediate threat of wider regional warfare.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif Issues Official Statement
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif formally announced the successful brokering of the truce, praising both the United States and Iran for their participation. The Prime Minister stated that both parties exhibited significant wisdom and restraint in choosing the path of peace and stability over continued military confrontation, marking a pivotal moment for regional security.
Transition To Comprehensive Peace Framework Discussions
With the two-week ceasefire now in effect, diplomatic teams are expected to begin discussions on a more comprehensive and permanent peace framework. However, the rhetoric from the Iranian military indicates that while the guns are silent, the underlying tension remains high, and the conditions for a lasting settlement are still being contested by various factions.
International Reaction To Regional Security Milestone
The global community has reacted with cautious optimism to the news of the Pakistan-led mediation success. Economic analysts have noted that the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is expected to stabilize global energy markets, though the short duration of the ceasefire keeps the threat of renewed volatility at the forefront of international concerns.
Military Deployment Levels During The Interim Period
Despite the halt in active strikes, both American and Iranian forces maintain significant presence in the theater of operations. The U.S. carrier strike groups remain on station, and the Iranian military spokesperson’s comments confirm that Tehran has not ordered a de-escalation of its defensive posture, ensuring that the truce remains highly fragile.
