Iran rules out negotiations with US-Israel, says war will continue until agressor learns its lesson

Washington/Tehran, May 10 (UNI) Iranian officials said on Tuesday that Tehran was not interested in seeking a ceasefire with the US and Israel, insisting the country would continue fighting until the conflict reaches its decisive end.
Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Speaker of Iran's parliament, said the country had no intention of seeking an immediate halt to hostilities.
"We are certainly not seeking a ceasefire," Ghalibaf wrote on X. "We believe the aggressor must be struck so it learns a lesson and never again thinks of attacking Iran."
