Iran's Basij paramilitary unit head, Hossein Taeb, stated that the US was forced to request a ceasefire during the ongoing war, rather than Iran initiating the request. Taeb claimed that Iran presented a document through negotiations, but the US could not tolerate it for 60 days, leading to its violation. He further highlighted Iran's armed forces' steadfastness during the conflict, emphasizing the US military's weaknesses.
According to Taeb, America deployed its full resources, anticipating a swift resolution within three days to six weeks. Regarding the truce discussions, Taeb asserted that Iran maintained its resolve and did not seek negotiations, whereas the US was the one that initiated the talks.
