Iran Denies Ceasefire Agreement Amid Trump's Declaration

Iran has rejected claims of a formal ceasefire agreement with Israel, casting doubt on U.S. President Donald Trump's assertion that hostilities between the two nations are nearing an "official end."

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi clarified that no binding deal had been reached.
'As of now, there is NO "agreement" on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations,' Araghchi wrote on X.
He added that Iran would halt its counterattacks only if Israel ceased its military operations.
Araghchi emphasized that any final decision to halt military operations would be made later.
The statement directly contradicts Trump’s announcement on Truth Social, in which he claimed that both Iran and Israel had agreed to a phased ceasefire set to begin at midnight Tuesday. According to Trump, the 24-hour plan would allow both sides to complete their "final mission" before a full cessation of hostilities.
