Iran calls for permanent ceasefire

Published November 27, 2023

Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson urges that the truce, which ends today, take a “stable form and that the cruel aggression of the Zionist regime against Gaza is not repeated,” Al Jazeera reports.

Nasser Kanani said, “As the Islamic Republic of Iran, we want and expect… that the crimes of the Zionist regime against the Palestinian people will be stopped completely”.

During his weekly press conference, Kanani told reporters that Iran is “following” the possible extension of the truce “with the regional party active in this field, the state of Qatar”.

But, he said, “It seems that the Zionist regime after not being able to achieve its objectives…wants to obtain a tangible victory”, suggesting Israel would continue its bombardments.
