President Donald Trump wrote on his Truth Social account that Israel and Iran have agreed to a ceasefire after days of violence in the Middle East.
Trump wrote at 5:02 p.m. Central Standard Time that the ceasefire would begin in about six hours.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi wrote on his social media at 7:46 p.m. CST, however, that an agreement has not been reached. He wrote that Iran would stop firing if Israel also halted. CNN reported at 9:25 p.m. that Iran fired more missiles at Israel.
Trump’s ceasefire start time would come to around 11 p.m. CST. Araghchi wrote that Iran would stop firing at 4 a.m. Tehran time. The news of the new round of missiles from Iran was reported around 6:18 a.m. in Tehran, or 9:22 p.m. CST.
Israel’s military launched an attack against Iran on June 12, which kicked off the latest scuffle between the two countries. Iran and Israel returned fire for days and the United States launched an attack on Sunday. Iran eventually attacked a U.S. military base Monday in Qatar.
“CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED! Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World,” Trump wrote.
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. However, provided that the Israeli regime stops its illegal aggression against the Iranian people no…

“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. However, provided that the Israeli regime stops its illegal aggression against the Iranian people no later than 4 am Tehran time, we have no intention to continue our response afterwards,” Araghchi wrote.
