Iran has said it doubts if the ceasefire with Israel would last and that it is prepared to respond to any fresh aggression from the other side.

“We have serious doubts about the enemy’s commitment to its obligations, including the ceasefire,” the semi-official Fars News Agency quoted Iran’s armed forces chief of staff, Abdolrahim Mousavi, as saying.

“We are prepared to deliver a firm response if aggression is repeated,” Mousavi said.

According to Bloomberg, Mousavi made the remarks during a Sunday phone call with Saudi Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman, addressing the truce that began on Tuesday.

We have serious doubts about the enemy’s commitment to its obligations, including the ceasefire.
