Donald Trump announced a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran, but Tehran denied this information.
Ceasefire Announcement
Donald Trump, from the White House, announced Monday night on Truth Social that a ceasefire agreement had been reached between Israel and Iran. Trump specified that the end of the war would be recognized in 24 hours, marking the end of what he termed the '12 Day War'. According to him, Iran would initiate a 12-hour truce, followed by Israel.
Iran Rejects Agreement
However, Tehran denied these claims. Aziz Nasirzadeh, a senior official in Iran, stated that the country had not received any ceasefire proposal. 'At this very moment, the enemy is committing aggression against Iran,' he stated. Meanwhile, another Iranian official confirmed a temporary ceasefire proposal mediated by Qatar, though he did not detail Trump's involvement.
