Iran intends to fight 'to the last drop of blood'

Iran will fight to the end.

This was stated by the Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Army, Lieutenant General Amir Hatami.

"Now, when our country and dear people are under attack by the most criminal enemies, they will fight shoulder to shoulder to the last drop of blood and achieve the final decisive victory," his words were reported by the Tasnim agency.

The United States and Israel started a war against Iran on February 28. On April 7, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a two-week mutual ceasefire with the Islamic Republic. According to Iranian sources, over 40 days of war, 3,375 Iranians were killed as a result of American-Israeli strikes. On April 11, Tehran and Washington held talks in Islamabad, but the parties failed to reach an agreement on long-term conflict resolution due to a number of disagreements. On April 21, the U.S. President announced his intention to extend the ceasefire regime with Iran. As reported by Iranian state television, Tehran does not intend to recognize the unilaterally declared extension of the ceasefire regime by Washington and will act in accordance with its own interests.
