Iran will not accept a ceasefire offer from the United States, Iranian state media reported Wednesday.

The FARS News Agency state media outlet, citing what it called an informed source, said there have been increased U.S. efforts to put a ceasefire into effect and begin indirect talks with Iran.

“Iran does not accept a ceasefire,” that informed source told FARS, according to a translation of the news site’s Telegram page that reported the interview.

“Basically, it is not logical to enter into such a process with those who violate the agreement,” the source said.

The source also told Fars that Iran intends to realize its strategic goals in the war, and that only when that happens will there be a possibility of ending the conflict, the outlet reported.
