Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has denied claims by former U.S. President Donald Trump that a ceasefire has been agreed upon between Iran and Israel.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter) made at 4:16 a.m. Tehran time, Araghchi stated, “As of now, there is NO ‘agreement’ on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations.” He clarified, however, that Iran is willing to halt its attacks if Israel ends its airstrikes by 4 a.m. local time.

The statement is Iran’s first official response to Trump’s earlier claim that a “complete and total ceasefire” had been reached.

Araghchi further wrote, “Provided that the Israeli regime stops its illegal aggression against the Iranian people no later than 4 a.m. Tehran time, we have no intention to continue our response afterwards.” He added that a final decision on halting military operations would be made later.

In a follow-up post, Araghchi said that Iranian military operations continued until the very last minute and expressed gratitude to the country’s armed forces for their efforts in defending the nation.

“Together with all Iranians, I thank our brave Armed Forces who remain ready to defend our dear country until their last drop of blood,” he wrote.

Tensions remain high as both countries assess the situation, with no formal truce yet in place.
