Iran says 'no agreement reached' but will halt strikes if Israel stops attacks

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has denied US President Donald Trump’s claim that a ceasefire deal between Iran and Israel has been reached. In a statement issued hours after Trump’s announcement, Araghchi made it clear that no agreement exists.

Earlier, Trump had announced that Iran and Israel had agreed to a “complete and total ceasefire” set to begin within six hours, once both sides finished their final operations. He said the war would officially be over 24 hours after the ceasefire began.

“As Iran has repeatedly made clear: Israel launched war on Iran, not the other way around,” Araghchi wrote on X. “As of now, there is NO ‘agreement’ on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations.”
