Shahriar Zarshanas: The ceasefire in Islamabad was too early/ Just when the military supremacy was with Iran, we gave the enemy a chance to renew his power! Accepting the ceasefire at this point was a premature decision; We were in a situation where the military advantage changed in favor of Iran and the defense capabilities of the enemy, including the Patriot missile reserves, were decreasing. If the war continues for another two or three weeks, the economic pressure caused by the increase in oil and energy prices may face America and the regime with a more serious crisis. We were in an asymmetric war, and by increasing the costs of the war for the aggressor, we need to bring him to a situation where it is no longer profitable for him to continue the conflict. There was nothing wrong with the negotiations, but we should not have given the enemy a chance to breathe with an early ceasefire. We had to use our superior position to score more points and create a lasting deterrent.
