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.

Iran is not a nation that surrenders: Khamenei

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rejected the idea of a ceasefire, asserting that Iran is not a nation that surrenders. He emphasised that anyone familiar with the Iranian people and their history would understand that they do not give in under pressure or threats.

Khamenei said, "Those who know the Iranian people and their history know that the Iranian nation isn’t a nation that surrenders."

"We didn't harm anyone. And we will not accept any harassment from anyone under any circumstances. And we will not submit to anyone's harassment; This is the logic of the Iranian nation," he added. 

'Israel launched war on Iran': Iranian Foreign Minister

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.

However, it stated that if the Israeli regime ceases its aggression against the Iranian people by 4 am Tehran time, Iran does not intend to continue its response beyond that point. It also added that the final decision regarding the cessation of military operations will be made at a later stage.

"As Iran has repeatedly made clear: Israel launched war on Iran, not the other way around. As of now, there is NO "agreement" on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations," Araghchi said in a post on X. 

'Our powerful Armed Forces to punish Israel for its aggression': Araghchi

Araghchi on Tuesday stated that the military operations carried out by Iran's Armed Forces to punish Israel for its aggression continued until 4 am (local time).

He expressed gratitude on behalf of all Iranians to the country's brave Armed Forces, praising their readiness to defend the nation until their last drop of blood. Araghchi noted that the forces responded to every enemy attack right up to the final moments of the operation.
