Iran Suspends Retaliatory Actions but Remains Skeptical of the United States
On the 26th local time, Iran stated that it has suspended retaliatory strikes against the United States, but remains skeptical about the U.S. halting its strikes on Iran.
Iranian military spokesman Akraminia stated on the 26th that the U.S. had stopped its strikes against Iran over the past two nights. Since Iran has adopted a retaliatory strategy, it too has suspended its retaliatory strikes. Akraminia claimed that the U.S. has failed to achieve its objectives in the war of aggression against Iran. The Iranian armed forces are prepared for all possible scenarios and will respond appropriately to any potential actions.
Additionally, Iranian sources revealed that Iran's position remains "to respond to attacks with counterattacks." If the attacks stop, Iran will also cease its actions, and this position has been communicated to the U.S. The source also indicated that Iran is more skeptical than optimistic about the sincerity of the U.S. in this temporary halt of strikes, believing that this decision is more tactical in nature. Iran has accumulated enough painful experiences from being deceived by the U.S.
On the 24th, U.S. President Trump ordered the U.S. military not to launch strikes against Iran that day, marking a pause in the 13-day airstrikes by U.S. forces against Iran.
