SRINAGAR: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Tuesday that Iran would stop its military operations if Israel ceased its airstrikes by 4 am local time.
In a post on social platform X at 4:16 am Tehran time, Araghchi said there was “no agreement” on a ceasefire yet. However, he indicated that Iran would halt its response if Israeli attacks ended by the stated deadline.
“As of now, there is no agreement on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations,” Araghchi wrote. “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.”
He added that a final decision on ending Iranian military action would be taken later. The remarks are the first official response from Tehran to former US President Donald Trump’s claim of a ceasefire agreement between Iran and Israel.
