Cannot verify docker image locally with public key

[csktan]

Description

I am trying to verify my docker image using a cosign which I signed with cosign successfully. The command I am using is

cosign verify --key <pub_key_path/cosign.pub> <image/repo:tag>
And in addition I have these two variables disabled even though cosign is trying to connect to the tuf and rekor which I don't wanted do.
I even tried with these flags still getting the same issue.
--no-rekor
--tuf-mirror=false
export COSIGN_REKOR_DISABLED=1
export COSIGN_TUF_DISABLED=1

Version
2.4.1

Is there any way that I can verify my signed docker image without connecting to the tuf and rekor.

Thank you,
