US President Donald Trump has announced on social media that Iran and Israel have agreed to a phased ceasefire within 24 hours, claiming that both nations have consented to a full halt in hostilities. However, Iran denied the claim, stating that it has neither received any such proposal nor sees any reason for a ceasefire.
Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi reiterated that it was Israel that initiated the war, not Iran. The Iranian government clarified that there is currently no agreement on a ceasefire or a halt in military operations.
