No agreement as of now, Tehran warns - despite Trump's announcement

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has denied claims by US President Donald Trump that his country has agreed to a ceasefire with Israel.

As US President Donald Trump claims a ceasefire has been achieved between Iran and Israel on Monday, Tehran has denied the claim. Iran has stated it did not receive any ceasefire proposal from the US which calls for a truce. Meanwhile, Israel has stayed silent on the ceasefire claim and is yet to comment on its implementation.

Taking to X, Iranian foreign minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi stated that there is "no agreement as of now."

"As of now, there is NO "agreement" on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations. However, provided that the Israeli regime stops its illegal aggression against the Iranian people no later than 4 am Tehran time, we have no intention to continue our response afterwards. The final decision on the cessation of our military operations will be made later," he wrote.

As Iran has repeatedly made clear: Israel launched war on Iran, not the other way around.

Shortly after this tweet, the foreign minister shared statement saying that the ceasefire in Tehran took effect from 4 AM local time.

“The military operations of our powerful Armed Forces to punish Israel for its aggression continued until the very last minute, at 4am. Together with all Iranians, I thank our brave Armed Forces who remain ready to defend our dear country until their last drop of blood, and who responded to any attack by the enemy until the very last minute,” Araghchi wrote on X.

While Israeli officials have stated that Israel is on board with the ceasefire, an official reaction from the country is awaited. As per Hebrew media, Israeli officials have stated the prime minister Netanyahu is on board with Trump's ceasefire plan as long as “Iran vows to stop its missile attacks."

As per an AP report, the Israeli military declined to comment on Trump’s statement and the office of the Israeli PM is yet to respond.
