🇮🇷🇺🇸| Advisor to Ghalibaf, Iran’s parliament speaker:

“Trump’s decision to extend the ceasefire makes no sense. The ceasefire extension is an attempt to buy time for a surprise attack. Iran currently holds the initiative.”

Literally just delaying longer to build up military forces before attacking and everyone knows it. Iran should t wait to respond. Ceasefires don't extend just because one side it's still lining up their next attack.
