On April 22, local time, in response to Trump's statement about extending the ceasefire, Iranian state television reported that Iran has emerged as the victor on the battlefield. Controlling the Strait of Hormuz is a highly valuable bargaining chip that Iran has gained in this war. Iran agrees to a suspension of military combat, but the war is not over. Additionally, Iranian state television emphasized that Iran must remain vigilant against any insinuations that it must participate in negotiations, or else the enemy will attack Iran. Even if maritime blockades are lifted, Iran's participation in negotiations must be conditional on not raising any issues that infringe upon Iran's independence and dignity, with the primary concerns being Iran's defense and missile capabilities as well as its nuclear capabilities and technology.
