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 start indirect talks with Iran to end the war that began on Feb. 28 with strikes by the U.S. and Israel on the Islamic Republic.
“Iran does not accept a ceasefire,” that source told FARS, according to a translation of the news site’s Telegram page that reported the interview.

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.
