Iran Denies Any Ceasefire Agreement with Israel
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has firmly dismissed recent assertions about a ceasefire deal between Iran and Israel. His statement came shortly after former US President Donald Trump claimed that both nations had agreed to a “complete and total ceasefire.”
Trump’s Announcement Meets Iranian Rejection
Trump announced that a ceasefire would commence within six hours following the conclusion of final military operations on both sides. He also predicted that the conflict would officially end 24 hours after the ceasefire took effect. However, Araghchi quickly contradicted these claims, emphasizing that no such agreement exists.
Araghchi’s Firm Response on Social Media
In an emphatic message posted on X, Araghchi stated: “As Iran has repeatedly made clear: Israel launched war on Iran, not the other way around. As of now, there is NO ‘agreement’ on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations.” This rejective stance highlights Tehran’s perspective on the conflict's origins and ongoing hostilities.
Conditional Offer to Halt Military Actions
Despite denying any formal agreement, Araghchi indicated a conditional willingness to cease Iran’s military responses if Israel stops its attacks by 4 AM Tehran time. He asserted, “If the Israeli regime stops its illegal aggression against the Iranian people by 4 AM, we have no intention to continue our response.” However, the final decision regarding the suspension of Iran’s military operations remains pending.
What’s Next in the Regional Tensions?
This development underlines the fragile nature of the current situation in the region. While diplomatic claims suggest progress toward peace, official Iranian statements make clear that hostilities and mistrust endure. The world watches closely as Iran’s leadership negotiates its response based on Israel’s actions in the hours ahead.
- Iranians reject claims of a ceasefire agreement.
- Israel is urged to halt attacks by 4 AM Tehran time to avoid further Iranian military action.
- The final decision on Iran’s military stance remains undecided.
