He demanded ceasefire not peace, cause while he still was helding a lot of our strategic and oil reach territories, but he was on the loosing course, so he needed time to reinforce his troop's position, thus the eager for this ceasefire.
But years later, even when Iran accepted the 598 resolution, he violated the ceasefire and attacked and reoccupied some area too, and if wasn't our supreme leader's frightening order to recruit more troops he wouldn't stop there, few months later he abandoned those areas which he occupied (to be relieved about Iran) and instead attacked Kuwait.
