Iranians optimistic about ceasefire amid escalating tensions
Many Iranians have expressed hope that the ongoing ceasefire will help restore stability and normalcy after days of heightened tension and uncertainty.
Shahrokh Saei, an Iranian journalist speaking to UNB, noted that Iran has indicated it will uphold the ceasefire as long as Israel does the same. He emphasized that the responsibility now lies with both Israel and the United States to maintain the truce.
“If Trump wants the ceasefire to endure, he must exercise influence over Israel’s actions,” Saei said in Beijing.

However, he pointed out that Israel has shown reluctance to fully commit, citing previous breaches involving Hamas and Hezbollah. Any renewed Israeli aggression toward Iran would likely provoke a strong retaliation from Tehran.
In an interview with China Global Television Network (CGTN), local resident Alireza shared his outlook, saying, “Nobody would be happy to see war between two countries or two individuals. It was a terrible experience. We were in a very bad situation. The war was imposed on our country. But the situation improved as the war continued. Our lives partially returned to normal. I hope the ceasefire will be durable.”
He added, “If the ceasefire continues and leads to more strategic agreements, I don’t think Iran will violate it. I hope Israel also remains committed to the ceasefire. We really need peace in the region and agreement among all nations. War is the last thing we need now. The first thing we need is peace.”

In a social media statement, U.S. President Donald Trump described the ceasefire as an effort to end what he called the “12-day war,” claiming it could have “saved the Middle East from years of destruction,” and later urged Israel not to escalate further.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian announced Tuesday that Iran is ready to resolve issues through international frameworks and negotiations.
