Analysts from Tasnim News Agency have dismissed proposals for a temporary ceasefire in the ongoing conflict involving the United States and Israel, arguing that such measures would not align with Iran’s strategic priorities.

According to a report by Axios, mediators are attempting to establish a 45-day ceasefire during which negotiations to end the conflict could take place. However, the proposal suggests that tensions and the broader threat of war would remain during this period.

Tasnim analysts claim that a temporary truce without meeting Iran’s stated conditions would merely provide an opportunity for opposing forces to regroup and rebuild. They argue that such ceasefires could be used to recover from battlefield pressures, including logistical and strategic challenges.

The analysis also expresses skepticism toward Axios, describing it as aligned with Israeli interests and alleging links to psychological operations tied to Mossad—a claim that has not been independently verified.

Commenting on the political dimension, the analysts suggest that U.S. President Donald Trump may be seeking to de-escalate rhetoric after earlier threats, particularly in light of Iran’s warnings of retaliation against any attacks on critical infrastructure.

Iran has consistently opposed short-term ceasefires that do not include firm guarantees against renewed attacks. Officials have previously rejected similar proposals, including a reported 48-hour truce, maintaining that any agreement must address core security concerns and ensure a lasting resolution.

According to the analysis, Iran’s position is that a meaningful end to the conflict requires binding assurances against further military action, along with other non-negotiable conditions. Without these, temporary ceasefires are seen as ineffective and potentially advantageous to adversaries.

The report also highlights broader regional implications, noting that the strategic situation surrounding the Strait of Hormuz has fundamentally changed. Analysts argue that the waterway is unlikely to return to its pre-conflict status, underscoring the long-term impact of the ongoing tensions.

No official response from U.S. or Israeli authorities regarding these specific claims has been reported.
